Minkah-Premo has topped the 2025 law firm rankings by lawyer count, with Kumasi-based Momim & Botta Solicitors the only non-Accra firm among the top five.

Ghana’s legal landscape continues to grow, and at the top of the latest rankings stands Minkah-Premo, Osei-Bonsu, Bruce-Cathline & Partners (MPOBB), better known simply as Minkah-Premo.

According to new figures released by Dennislaw Ghana, the firm leads the country in 2025 with a total of 54 lawyers - setting it apart in a market where size increasingly matters.

The rankings, based on the number of lawyers employed, offer a snapshot of Ghana’s most prominent law firms as of April 25, 2025. With legal services expanding alongside the country's economic growth, firms have been steadily building larger teams to meet rising client demand across sectors like energy, finance, and infrastructure.

Trailing Minkah-Premo is Bentsi-Enchill, Letsa & Ankomah, a firm well-known for its corporate and commercial law expertise, which claims 44 lawyers. Moomim & Botta Solicitors comes in third with 43 lawyers — a notable achievement not just for its size, but also for its location. Based in Kumasi, Moomim & Botta Solicitors is the only firm in the top five that operates outside Accra, making it a standout in a list otherwise dominated by firms from the capital.

AB & David Africa, with 42 lawyers, and Sam Okudzeto and Associates, with 40, round out the top five. With just a few lawyers separating the second through fifth spots, the competition among Ghana’s largest firms is razor-thin — a sign of the growing sophistication and competitiveness of the legal market.

The numbers tell a broader story too. While the legal market remains heavily Accra-centric, Moomim & Botta Solicitors’ strong showing signals a shift: that major legal services are no longer confined to the capital alone. The emergence of regional players points to a more geographically diverse legal future, although a larger concentration (over 76 per cent) of the lawyer-count remains in Accra.

Nonetheless, Minkah-Premo’s dominance at the very top is clear. With the largest team in the country, the firm is well-positioned to handle increasingly complex and cross-sector legal work. As client needs evolve, size, depth of expertise, and geographic reach are becoming critical. Minkah-Premo’s 2025 ranking confirms it is not only keeping pace with these changes — it is setting the standard.

Will this remain the status quo in 2026 or will there a surprise new player? Like you, we await the answer.
