Amarteifio & Co. is one of Ghana's most established full-service law firms, with a continuous record of legal excellence stretching back to 1980. Headquartered at 6 H.P Nyemetei Street, Osu, Accra, the firm brings together 12 qualified lawyers whose collective expertise spans litigation, corporate law, property, banking and finance, employment, immigration, family law, and alternative dispute resolution. This page provides an in-depth overview of the knowledge, experience, and institutional standing that distinguish Amarteifio & Co. as a leading choice for clients seeking serious legal counsel in Ghana.
Since its founding in 1980, Amarteifio & Co. has appeared before Ghana's Superior Courts — the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court — in matters spanning commercial disputes, constitutional questions, land and property conflicts, and criminal proceedings. The firm's litigators combine deep procedural knowledge with a strategic, outcome-focused approach that has earned the trust of clients across the private and public sectors.
Ghana's growing role as a hub for foreign direct investment in West Africa has placed increasing demand on firms capable of navigating cross-border legal complexity. Amarteifio & Co. advises international investors, multinational corporations, and foreign governments on market entry, regulatory compliance, joint ventures, and dispute resolution under Ghanaian law. Our team includes practitioners trained in the United Kingdom and the United States, enabling seamless coordination with foreign counsel.
We serve as Company Secretary to a portfolio of public listed and private companies, providing ongoing board administration, regulatory filing management, and governance advisory. As Ghana's corporate regulatory environment has matured — particularly following amendments to the Companies Act — companies require sophisticated, proactive counsel. Amarteifio & Co. ensures that boards and management teams meet their obligations while operating efficiently and transparently.
Not every legal matter is best resolved in court. Amarteifio & Co. offers arbitration and mediation services through practitioners accredited by the Ghana Arbitration Centre and the ADR Group (UK). Our founding partner, Amarkai Amarteifio, Esq., is a founding member of the Ghana Arbitration Centre and a member of its Governing Council. This institutional involvement gives our clients access to Ghana's most authoritative ADR framework.
Our client base spans financial services, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, real estate, energy, technology, and the public sector. We understand that legal challenges arise within specific industry contexts, and we bring sector-relevant insight to every engagement. Whether advising a bank on a syndicated loan, a developer on a mixed-use property transaction, or an employer on a workforce restructuring, Amarteifio & Co. provides counsel that is technically rigorous and commercially grounded.
Choosing a law firm is a decision of significant consequence. Amarteifio & Co. offers clients four things that are difficult to find in combination: a 45-year track record of excellence, a team of internationally trained and dual-qualified lawyers, strong institutional relationships with Ghana's courts and regulatory bodies, and a genuine commitment to every client's outcome. Our motto — A Tradition of Counsel. A Standard of Trust. — is not a slogan. It is the standard by which every file in our chambers is measured.
