Ghanaian legal luminary, Elikem Nutifafa Kuenyehia has announced his departure as a partner (and Chairman) of ENSafrica|Ghana (previously Oxford & Beaumont Solicitors) and has also resigned as Director of ENSafrica |Ghana Limited and Executive of ENSafrica Inc.

This departure brings to a pause Elikem’s 21-year legal career from Linklaters’ associate to Band 1 Chambers lawyer recognised in Ghana and beyond as: ‘“one of the prominent players in the corporate sector,” possessing strong experience advising local and international clients on the full range of mandates.’ 

Kuenyehia is most noted for starting Oxford & Beaumont in 2006 with just US$5,000 seed capital.

As managing partner, he grew Oxford & Beaumont as a full-service corporate and commercial offering for Ghanaian corporates and global clients like Coca Cola, Google Inc., Standard Chartered Bank and multilateral agencies, and as the first Ghanaian law firm to open in the City.

The Legal 500 has named him as one of only three law firm leaders, and the only one of his generation, clients consider to be a Hall of Famer “at the pinnacle of the legal profession in Ghana”.

Kuenyehia is on the Governing Board of State Interest and Governance Authority as representative of the President of Ghana. He has been a non-executive director at Google Ghana Limited, Chase Petroleum and Hollard (formerly Metropolitan Insurance).

Reflecting on his legal career: “My proudest achievement has been able to lead and inspire a team of truly outstanding individuals to disrupt a market while assisting our clients to meet their business objectives.”
