A pan-African firm serving Ghana

Its expertise extends across Africa, and it brings this breadth to bear for clients doing business on the continent.

Corporate and M&A work in West Africa

Corporate and mergers-and-acquisitions law lies at the centre of commercial activity. It governs how companies are formed, financed, restructured, bought and sold, and it brings together corporate, competition, tax, employment, regulatory and financing considerations in a single transaction. In Ghana, which has attracted significant domestic and international investment across sectors such as energy, resources, financial services and infrastructure, businesses undertaking deals need advisers who understand both the local legal environment and the demands of complex cross-border transactions. A firm with pan-African reach is particularly well placed to serve clients whose interests span several African jurisdictions.

Corporate and M&A practices typically support clients with matters such as:

• Structuring mergers, acquisitions and disposals
• Legal due diligence on target companies and assets
• Drafting and negotiating transaction agreements
• Advice on regulatory, competition and financing aspects of deals
• Corporate governance, reorganisations and post-deal integration

Local leadership, continental strength

The advantage of a firm such as ENSafrica is its ability to pair on-the-ground leadership in a specific market with the depth and coordination of a large African practice. For clients doing business in Ghana, having an Executive Head who leads the corporate and M&A practice locally means their transactions are guided by a senior lawyer with direct knowledge of the market, while the wider firm brings additional expertise and cross-border capability when a deal reaches beyond Ghana's borders. Amina Abugdanpoka Kaguah's leadership sits at this intersection of local depth and continental strength.

Recognition across the continent

Recognition as a leading corporate and M&A practice reflects the confidence that businesses and investors place in an adviser to deliver their most significant transactions. Corporate and mergers-and-acquisitions work is complex and high-stakes, bringing together many disciplines in a single deal, and clients look for advisers who understand both the local market and the demands of cross-border transactions. An award of this kind acknowledges a practice's ability to combine on-the-ground leadership in Ghana with the depth and reach of a major pan-African firm. For an Executive Head guiding the practice locally, it also reflects the trust that clients place in senior leadership with direct knowledge of the market, supported by colleagues across the continent when a transaction extends beyond a single jurisdiction.

For businesses and investors pursuing corporate transactions and mergers and acquisitions in Ghana, Amina Abugdanpoka Kaguah and ENSafrica offer senior local leadership backed by one of Africa's leading law firms. The recognition as Corporate/M&A Law Firm of the Year in Ghana at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 underlines the practice's standing in the country's corporate and transactional market.
