The role of General Counsel has never been more critical in shaping the success and resilience of businesses across Ghana. As companies navigate an increasingly complex legal and regulatory landscape, in-house legal leaders are stepping beyond traditional advisory roles to drive strategy, governance, and innovation. As such, it is high time for us at Legal 500 to bring the very best and brightest in this in-house legal community to the world’s attention through our first-ever Ghana GC Powerlist.
The Legal 500 GC Powerlist: Ghana 2025 celebrates the country’s most influential and dynamic General Counsel—80 outstanding legal professionals who are making a significant impact within their organisations and industries. As legal and business landscapes continue to transform, the GC Powerlist: Ghana 2025 serves as a testament to the invaluable contributions of these legal leaders—shaping policy, mitigating risks, and driving corporate success in an increasingly complex world.
In partnership with ENSafrica, another exciting edition of GC Powerlist Ghana has been added to our growing GC Powerlist Series portfolio. Legal 500 was honored to host Ghana’s top in-house counsel for the inaugural edition at Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra. This edition highlights a select group of individuals chosen after months of in-depth research and interviews.
We are proud to release another title in West Africa and thrilled to celebrate the exceptional talent within the region. ENSafrica’s Ghana Managing Partner, Amina Kaguah, took the stage to congratulate all awardees. The event continued with networking and refreshments as attendees received their certificates. The evening concluded with closing remarks from awardee Hannah Agbozo, General Counsel at Tullow. A heartfelt thank you to ENSafrica and all attendees for making the event a success.
