Cross-Border Legal Protection in Government Investigations
Clinton Consultancy advises and represents international companies engaged in government contracts and tenders in Ghana. We provide discreet legal defence when foreign contractors face audits, procurement investigations, or disputes under Ghanaian law.
Public Contract Investigations
Foreign suppliers and contractors working on government projects in Ghana may be asked to produce records, justify pricing, or respond to inquiries from regulators. Investigations may involve the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), or Parliamentary committees.
We assist by:
-
Reviewing international contract documentation against Ghana’s Public Procurement Act
-
Preparing formal responses to regulator requests
-
Advising foreign executives on statutory protections and liabilities
-
Coordinating with local auditors and compliance experts
-
Representing companies in high-level government meetings
Tender Compliance & Audits
Procurement investigations often test whether tenders were awarded fairly and whether performance standards were met. For foreign companies, this can be complex, as international contractual practices may differ from local requirements. We:
-
Compile and authenticate tender submissions and correspondence
-
Align procurement records with Ghanaian regulatory standards
-
Close gaps in performance documentation before audits escalate
-
Liaise with government auditors and oversight bodies
Legal Opinions & Dispute Resolution
Our legal opinions are tailored for boards and international investors requiring clear, independent analysis of Ghana’s legal and regulatory framework. Where disputes escalate, we represent clients in:
-
Court proceedings involving procurement and contract disputes
-
Arbitration and cross-border settlement forums
-
Negotiations with government entities and ministries
