His areas of expertise include corporate & commercial dispute resolution, telecommunications, media & technology, corporate finance and employment. David became a partner in January 2010.
David has successfully defended a United Kingdom-registered Manufacturer in an action for, among others, an injunction brought against it by a Ghanaian-company distributor, in an attempt to freeze the UK Company's Ghana business. He has in addition won judgement and general damages for breach of contract when he represented an international commodities company in a multi-million dollar suit against a Ghana-Government-owned company in Ghana regarding a sale of goods contract. Also, he has represented a major Ghanaian media company in a matter restraining its competitors from unfair competition practices, including duplication of programmes for broadcast. Recently, he has successfully defended The Coca Cola Bottling Company of Ghana Limited in a watershed employment action, setting a precedent for using the labour laws to deal with under-performing and skiving employees.
