About Us

Welcome to SAY Law Office

Solomon-Adugna-Yeselam Law Firm (S.A.Y) was established in 2023 by the merger of three Law Offices established and operated by each of the Partners independently who were practicing law from 2010 onwards.  Now pulling their vast experiences and expertise together, S.A.Y focuses on the specific needs of corporate and individual clients and works dedicatedly to provide them with the best legal solutions.

The Firm’s office locations have been strategically selected across two sites to enhance client accessibility. One office is located in the Golagul building near 22 Square, and the other is situated in the bustling Bole Medhanealm district, on the 6th floor of the S.A Building. This strategic placement ensures convenient access for clients in these areas.
