Who I Am
I am Amanda Akuokor Clinton — a UK-trained lawyer, advocate, and advisor with more than a decade of experience working on high-profile, complex cases across Ghana, Sierra Leone, and the wider African region.
As the founding partner of Clinton Consultancy, I have built a boutique advisory house trusted by international corporates, investors, governments, NGOs, and high-net-worth individuals who require global-level rigour combined with local execution.
My practice is defined by courage, clarity, and credibility. I am known for handling sensitive matters with discretion, pushing aggressively when needed, and negotiating subtly when diplomacy matters most.
My Background
-
Education & Training: UK-trained and internationally exposed, I bring global standards of legal and strategic advisory to the African context.
-
Practice in Africa: Licensed in Ghana and Sierra Leone, with extensive experience throughout Africa’s legal and regulatory systems.
-
Track Record: I have advised on cross-border litigation, complex arbitrations, billion-dollar commodity transactions, NGO governance frameworks, and fintech licensing applications before the Bank of Ghana.
-
High-Profile Work: I have acted in cases that attracted national and international attention, often representing clients in disputes that test the limits of law, policy, and public perception.
What I Believe
I believe Africa deserves the same world-class advisory standards available in London, New York, or Geneva, delivered with the cultural intelligence, networks, and on-the-ground presence only a local practice can provide.
I also believe in transparency and accessibility. Unlike large firms, Clinton Consultancy operates with fixed-fee packages and clear retainers, ensuring clients know exactly what they are paying for.
My Strengths
-
International Training, Local Mastery: I think like an international lawyer but execute with deep knowledge of African practice.
-
High-Profile Case Management: I thrive in matters involving complex evidence, urgent injunctions, or reputational risk.
-
Cross-Border Reach: With a vetted network of affiliate lawyers and consultants I’ve worked with for over 7 years, I deliver seamless solutions across Africa.
-
Always Available: Known for a 24/7 hands-on approach, I remain personally involved in client strategy.
-
Courage & Credibility: I am unafraid to take on powerful institutions or entrenched interests when my clients’ rights are at stake.
Beyond the Courtroom
Clinton Consultancy is not just a law office — it is Africa’s trusted boutique advisory house, advising on litigation, transactions, compliance, governance, lobbying, research, and investment opportunities.
Through Time Valley, my visionary platform, I am also exploring the future of Africa at the intersection of technology, consciousness, and governance, positioning our clients and communities for the age of Artificial Intelligence and beyond.
My Promise
Whether you are an international investor navigating Africa, a multinational engaged in complex disputes, an NGO designing governance frameworks, or a government seeking empirical research, I will provide strategic, rigorous, and impactful advisory tailored to your needs.
Clarity. Courage. Credibility. That is the Amanda Clinton signature.
