In times of instability or crisis, I manage legal matters by prioritising proactive risk assessment, ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and maintaining open communication with stakeholders. My legal strategy is closely aligned with the broader business strategy, focusing on mitigating potential risks, safeguarding the organisation’s interests, and ensuring operational continuity. This approach enables the organisation to respond effectively to crises and emerge resilient.

Currently, several key trends are shaping my work as a legal professional in Ghana. Economic factors such as Ghana’s economic growth, trade agreements, and investment opportunities play a significant role. Legal developments, including updates to the Companies Act and international frameworks like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), also have a considerable impact. Political trends, from government policies and regulatory changes to the influence of global events on Ghana’s political landscape, continue to shape the legal environment. Additionally, business trends, particularly the growing emphasis on technology, innovation, and sustainability, are increasingly relevant in Ghana’s corporate sector.

As I guide my legal team into 2025, our strategic priorities will focus on strengthening regulatory compliance and risk management to ensure the organisation remains legally sound and agile. Supporting business growth through strategic legal advice and innovative solutions will also be essential. We are committed to developing expertise in emerging areas such as technology, data protection, and sustainability, while fostering collaboration with internal stakeholders, external counsel, and regulatory bodies to provide effective legal support. Investing in professional development and training will be a key focus, ensuring we remain up to date with evolving legal trends and best practices.
