Careers
Pupillage and practice
We take two pupils a year and we read every application. What you get in return is real files, early, with somebody senior reading every line.
Write to usWhat the job is
Small firm, real files, early
There is nowhere here to hide and nowhere here to stall. You will carry your own matters within months, and a partner will read every line before it leaves the building.
Your own files early
Pupils are drafting real pleadings by month three, with a partner's name beside theirs and a partner's eyes on every page.
Court from the first term
You will be on your feet in the High Court within your first year — mentions first, then applications, then the thing itself.
Two days a month that are yours
Not billable to anybody: reading, drafting practice and a partner sitting with you on whatever you got wrong last month.
Paid pupillage, stated openly
GH₵4,200 a month during pupillage, reviewed at six months. Nobody here has to ask a colleague what the number is.

Applying
One page and one matter
Send a one-page letter and a piece of writing you are proud of — a memo, an essay, a judgment note. No form, no portal, and a reply from a partner within two weeks whether the answer is yes or no.
