@emmanuellacoch
I am an experienced corporate lawyer delivering compliance, contracts, and project legal advisory for commercial clients.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I am a high-achieving, creative and results-driven lawyer with substantial in-house and private practice experience across corporate, commercial and project matters. As Legal Officer at a multi-company group I draft policies (AML, Consumer Protection), advise on data protection and regulatory compliance, draft and negotiate contracts, and represent the group in court and in project-specific work.
I have progressed through roles in private firms and banks where I handled company registrations, land documentation, litigation support and legal research; I combine strong drafting and compliance skills with a competitive drive and zero tolerance for mediocrity.
