ABOUT US

A dynamic law practice located at Adabraka in the Central District of Accra, Ghana. The practice was

established in 1974 by the founder and Head of Chambers, Miguel Augustus Francisco Ribeiro. Over the decades the practice has established a great reputation as not only one of the best law firms to

deal with but also one which ensures a very personal and sensitive approach to doing business.

 

Our lawyers are highly experienced in their practice areas, providing knowledge and expertise in a warm friendly environment. Our clients feel cared for and are confident that they can trust us to achieve the outcomes they want.

Our success has been built through developing long standing

relationships with clients and referrals.

Conveyancing

We know there is a lot to think about when buying or selling land or a house. With our extensive expertise and the considerable experience of our team we will limit your anxieties and give you all the help you need to complete the transaction as quickly, efficiently as possible.

Wills

Have you made a Will, or have you recently reviewed and updated your Will, if you already have one? It doesn’t matter what age you are, if you have any assets you should have a legally binding Will so that your loved ones are taken care of and your wishes are followed when you pass away. We will help you with achieving this. We can also help you with your last wishes or a living Will which will take care of your immediate instructions upon your death and before your main Will is read.

Probate

When a loved one dies someone has to sort out their property, money and possessions,  This is termed as their “estate’.  The process is known as Probate or Letters of Administration. Executors of the estate and family members where there is no Will.

Corporate and Commercial

Whether you are an owner managed business or a medium to large size organisation, a mature business or start-up business, you will find our business practice is comprehensive and integrated.  We will help you with all your corporate and commercial needs covering all your requirements from contracts, employment issues, company registration, regulatory matters, licensing issues and general corporate governance matters.

 

We are experts in the drafting, negotiating and advising on contracts.  We will deliver robust contracts that would allow your organisation to operate effectively and manage risks.

 

We are able to advice on a wide range of commercial contracts whether of a domestic or international nature.

 

Family

Our highly experienced family and matrimonial experts pride themselves on the excellence of their advice and high quality service.

As experienced negotiators, they will always try to broker an agreement at an early stage to avoid protracted court proceedings. However this is not always the case, and if court proceedings are inevitable our lawyers are tenacious and will fight for you to reach the resolution you seek.

Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Disputes are sometimes inevitable and during these times, it is necessary to protect your rights.

 

We would always try to settle  disputes without the need to go to court if possible.  However this is not always the case and sometimes litigation cannot be avoided.  Our experts will work you during such times, to try and achieve the best outcome to your particular case.

 

Litigation can be very time consuming and complex.  We will try to where possible narrow down issues in an expeditious way to prevent protracted litigation.
