Discreet Counsel for Companies Facing Government Requests
Clinton Consultancy provides expert legal representation for companies in Ghana responding to government agencies. We advise on AML checks, invoice audits, NIB and GRA inquiries, prepare formal legal opinions, and represent clients in litigation and government meetings. Our approach is practical, authoritative, and discreet.
Government Inquiry & Investigation Response
When regulators request invoices, bank statements or other documentation, it is not just a compliance issue — it is a reputational and operational risk. We:
-
Conduct rapid intake and risk triage within 24–48 hours
-
Map the full evidentiary trail: bank FX approvals ? shipping ? customs ? local sales
-
Draft and lodge robust responses to regulator requests
-
Prepare companies for interviews and government meetings, including scripts and legal grounds
-
Liaise with auditors and third-party verification providers
Outcome: A clearer risk profile, reduced disruption, and a structured plan for litigation, settlement, or compliance remediation.
