Who we are
Merit is a partner-led Accra firm built for the matters that decide a business or a family — company formations and disputes, land and succession, employment and energy. Whatever brings you in, one partner owns the file from the first call to the last filing.
Loyal
We act for one side of a matter and say so plainly when we cannot act at all.
Trust
A written scope and a fee estimate before any work begins — and a call the moment either changes.

A group restructured, clean
Four companies, three regulators and a shareholder who wanted out. We rebuilt the group as one holding structure without a single filing rejected.

Testimonials
Client experiences
Merit took over a matter two other firms had already been through, read four years of correspondence in a week, and told us plainly which parts of our position would not survive. We settled a month later on better terms than we had been chasing.

Why a will is the cheapest thing you will ever draft
