A group of lawyers have formed a new organisation to compete with the Ghana Bar Association (GBA).
Lawyers who graduate from the Ghana School of Law will have the Law Society of Ghana, limited by guarantee, as an alternative professional organisation.
This would end the GBA’s monopoly as the country’s only professional association of lawyers, which has been in operation since 1877.
The Law Society of Ghana has CG012690222 registration number and the C0061614130 tax identification number.
“I hereby certify that Law Society of Ghana – LBG is this day incorporated under the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992) and that the liability of its members is limited by guarantee”.
“Given under my hand and official seal at Accra, the 28th day of February 2022,” part of the certificate of incorporation signed by the registrar of companies reads.
