For matters that
cannot be
deferred.
A new boutique Ghanaian law firm built by senior counsel — for boards, founders, and family offices that need experienced judgement, not a process.
JP Legal was founded on a simple premise: the work of a serious lawyer should be done by a serious lawyer — not delegated downward, not stretched across hundreds of files, not learned at the client's expense.
Four commitments that shape the practice.
Senior attention
Every engagement is led by a partner. We do not staff matters with junior associates and bill the supervision.
Selective practice
We take fewer matters so we can give each one the time it requires. The firm exists to do the work, not to grow.
Judgement, not procedure
Clients pay for considered counsel — the kind that shortens a matter rather than lengthens it.
Accountable communication
Calls returned the same day. Status without being asked. Estimates that hold, and warnings when they will not.
Five areas. Each led by a partner.
We work where Ghanaian commercial life is most complex — at the seams between corporate, capital, land, regulation, and dispute.
Corporate & Commercial
We advise founders, boards, and shareholders on the full life of a Ghanaian company — from incorporation through capital raises, contracts, governance, and exits.
Real Estate & Construction
Title due diligence, transactions, and disputes for residential and commercial real estate across Greater Accra and beyond.
Banking & Finance
Counsel to lenders and borrowers on secured lending, project finance, and the regulatory environment Ghanaian financial institutions operate in.
Dispute Resolution
Civil and commercial litigation in the Ghanaian courts, alongside arbitration and mediation under domestic and international rules.
Tax
Tax planning, structuring, and dispute work covering corporate, transactional, and individual matters in Ghana's evolving tax environment.
Founded by two senior practitioners who share the work.
