Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘An important distinguishing factor of the practice of ALA is the timely manner in which the lawyers respond to and address our needs. The firm has been consistent throughout the course of our relationship in handling every issue we present to them in good time.'
'Another key distinguishing factor is that an appropriate amount of senior management time is allocated to us as a client of the firm in addressing our needs. The firm always provides us with a mix of junior and senior lawyers to assist us with our matters.’
‘The individuals we work with are very responsive to and prioritise our needs. They demonstrate a good understanding of legal matters and how they impact the work that we do.'
'They are able to break down issues affecting our work into their simplest form to ensure that we have a good appreciation of how any issues we are faced with can be resolved. Stand-out lawyers are Nii Odoi Odotei (Partner) and Osei Tutu Bonsu (Associate).'
‘The ALA team, in my experience, have demonstrated a strong willingness to close transactions they are involved with, often times stepping in to help drive to completion activities which they are not directly responsible for.'
‘The partners have significant experience advising on both private and public sector infrastructure projects, meaning that they are able to successfully navigate most of the bureaucratic hurdles that would typically hamper large scale infrastructure projects.'
'The partners are always available and as a client I have found that I have access to several partners on each transaction ensuring that we receive a well rounded solution.’
