Her legal journey began as a Legal Aid Officer at the Legal Aid Commission. Afterwards, she joined Akufo-Addo, Prempeh & Co. as an associate. In 1994, she co-founded Ghartey & Ghartey, and in 2005, she succeeded Joe Ghartey as the head of the firm, focusing on corporate law and litigation.
Efua has played an active role in the International Federation of Female Lawyers (FIDA), holding various executive positions over the years. She served on the National Executive Council of the Ghana Bar Association for 10 years. As the immediate past President of the Greater Accra Bar Association, she played a significant role in its growth and development.
According to lawyers closely linked to Efua, her candidacy is in response to widespread calls for her to contest the position of President. Her vision is to enhance the association's role in promoting lawyers' welfare, good governance, and sustainable development in Ghana.
Efua’s extensive experience and leadership skills make her an ideal candidate to lead the Ghana Bar Association to new heights.
