The United Kingdom has consistently been one of Ghana's key sources of inward foreign direct investment, with London at the heart of the investment flow. A significant percentage of our work therefore, unsurprisingly, has a London element. This in turn requires our team members to travel regularly to London for training, secondments, meetings with clients and other key stakeholders.
In addition, London offers us general exposure that Accra is not yet able to provide in many of our specialist practice areas as a result of the sophisticated nature of the London market.
To maintain our global view and exposure, better service the needs of our growing international client base, and to strengthen our relationships with our international preferred firms, in 2009, we became the first ever Ghanaian law firm to open a London office.
Our London Office, conveniently located in Central London and within a short distance from most of the major international law firms and banks operating in London, is at the heart of our international strategy.
The London office is managed by our Managing Partner, Elikem Nutifafa Kuenyehia, who splits his time between London and Accra. He is assisted by the International Business Team. Our Lawyers from Accra also go on secondments to the London office.
Consistent with our global positioning, we offer Ghanaian legal advice, even in our London office. We rely on our extensive network of English law firms to provide our clients English law advice. With adequate notice, we are able to provide facilities in London to support clients travelling to London for business. We also offer process agent services out of London.
