Last Updated on September 24, 2025 by Bianca Clinton, Partner at Clinton Consultancy – Qualified Solicitor (Ghana, England & Wales)

The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) Scale of Fees provides the recommended legal charges across different areas of practice in Ghana. Updated periodically, this guide acts as a benchmark for lawyers and clients, ensuring transparent, fair, and standardized quotations.

At Clinton Consultancy, we adopt the GBA Scale of Fees as part of our professional standards to ensure compliance and fairness when advising both local and international clients.


What the GBA Scale of Fees Covers

The official schedule outlines fees for:

  • Litigation: court appearances, representation, appeals
  • Corporate Advisory: company formation, restructuring, mergers
  • Notarization & Affidavits
  • Contract Drafting & Agreements
  • Due Diligence & Arbitration Services

By using the GBA framework, we provide consistency and clarity across all client engagements.


Why the GBA Fees Matter to Clients

  • Clarity: Clients know what fees to expect.
  • Compliance: Quotes are aligned with the national legal framework.
  • Fairness: Both individuals and companies benefit from transparent pricing.
