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.
