A new association – the Law Society of Ghana (LSG) has been established to ‘break’ the monopoly of the Ghana Bar Association.
Per documents circulating in the public domain, the new association has been duly registered with the Registrar General’s Department as a company limited by guarantee (LBG) although the rationale behind it’s formation is yet to be officially communicated by it’s promoters or sponsors.
