Corporate and Commercial

No international commercial law firm has more experience guiding clients in the Ghanaian business environment. After all, over the last three decades, we’ve helped create the Ghanaian business environment.

Put our peerless corporate counselling services to work for your venture.

We are a leading advisor for new company formation in Ghana. Company formation in Ghana requires strict compliance with regulations, knowledge of the proper channels, and the skills to guide you through them. Ntrakwah & Co. puts that knowledge and skill at your disposal.

Due diligence in Ghana requires knowledge and insight that only come with a long history in international business and commercial law. With more than three decades experience as a top Ghanaian law firm—including the publication of “Due Diligence in Ghana” by Founder and Managing Partner Felix Ntrakwah—Ntrakwah & Co. ensures your acquisitions a fair value and safeguards against legal booby traps.

As the leading corporate and commercial lawyers in Ghana, we are uniquely qualified to draft regulations, ensure compliance and offer advice about listing on the Ghana Stock Exchange. Ntrakwah & Co. has guided the privatization of several government-owned industries, and overseen public listings of some of Ghana’s largest companies.

Ntrakwah & Co. has seen clients through some of the largest mergers, both domestic and international, in West African history. As Ghana’s leading company formation consultants, we draft share sale and purchase agreements and shareholders’ agreements; conduct seller’s and buyer’s due diligence, and draft all required contracts and transactional documents. Check out the 2015 Ghana Mergers and Acquisitions Report we authored for the International Financial Law Review.

Our resources and reputation for integrity within Ghana’s commercial and business law communities can help you secure the capital you need with the most favourable terms—and minimum of legal interference. We structure, negotiate and document project financing agreements to specifically cater to your requirements and expectations.

Each Ntrakwah & Co. partner is experienced in negotiating and drafting commercial contracts. Each partner is able to advise you on the risks of corporate and commercial contracts, helping you minimize or reduce liabilities within the company law of Ghana.

We have vast experience with corporate and private investors from Europe, Asia and the Americas, and frequently represent clients in debt and equity financing. We are trusted legal advisors in commercial and corporate law to many of the major banks and financial institutions in Ghana.
