Bentsi-Enchill, Letsa & Ankomah (BE&LA) is a private partnership incorporated in 1990 under Ghana's Incorporated (Private) Partnerships Act, 1962 (Act 152). Eighteen years on BE&LA has grown from 2 to 5 partners, 9 associates. At any given time there are pupils and interns as well. MISSION In the context of consortiums and other teams, we are team players who get our portion of the work done on time and give constructive assistance to the overall project team. BE&LA was voted the leading legal services organisation in Ghana and noted as having uncommon 'strength in depth' and 'a thorough grasp of the details' by the first and second international survey of African Law Firms. (Chambers & Partners; Chambers Global; The Worlds Leading Lawyers, 2000-2001, 2001-2002 and 2002-2003/ www.ChambersandPartners.com). ORGANISATION BE&LA gives continuous general representation to several corporations spanning all the important areas of corporate law, assigning the appropriate partner and staff person (in terms of skill, experience, interest and cost effectiveness) to each matter. BE&LA is a corporate organisation not a collection of individuals practising law under the same roof. BE&LA's five partners lead teams of senior and junior associates. D.K.D. Letsa's team heads the commercial/property team. Kojo Bentsi-Enchill heads the corporate law work of the firm, (bank finance, corporate finance, investment, mining and natural resources). Ace Anan Ankomah heads litigation team. Having almost completed a full text database of Ghana's reported cases, legislation and law journal articles, BE&LA is in a good position to quickly access all the relevant existing legislation, analyse their import and recommend relevant policies.
