Minkah-Premo & Co.

The vision of this prestigious firm is to be a leading law firm providing integrated professional services for effective legal solutions with integrity. MINKAH-PREMO & CO. was established out of the need for an improvement in the justice delivery system. Its establishment stemmed from the from the plagues of the justice delivery system in the forms of low standards and snail-paced results and conditions in which lawyers had to work, right through to their clients' dissatisfaction to the judicial process. It was the desire and vision to commence and achieve positive change from this that compelled Mr. Justice Kusi-Minkah Premo, a lawyer called to the Ghana Bar in 1984, to set up MINKAH-PREMO & CO. (AKOSOMBO CHAMBERS), after stints with the State Insurance Corporation, Kwaku Baah & Co. and Kokroko Chambers. In all three places, lessons in the direction of law practice, service delivery and worker relations were learnt. Some of the weaknesses which cried for attention were poor emolument (which affected workers' motivation), poor infrastructure (which affected workers' productivity and client convenience) and poor worker relations (which affected teamwork and client satisfaction). These became useful raw materials in the mental process of creating and establishing a law firm that would achieve service beyond client expectation, job satisfaction and faith in the legal process.
