Practice Area

Technology & Digital

Technology companies entering West African markets encounter a legal environment that is specific, nuanced, and often unfamiliar to counsel who have not worked within it. Ghana’s regulatory frameworks governing data protection, telecommunications, and digital financial services are not approximations of those found elsewhere; they stand on their own terms — with their own structures, expectations, and interpretive practices.

Barry & Asmah advises technology companies, telecommunications operators, and digital financial services providers on entering and operating in Ghana and West Africa. Our work includes regulatory licensing and compliance under the electronic communications laws and the National Communications Authority framework; data protection compliance under Ghana’s data protection laws; fintech and mobile money regulatory matters; and the structuring of technology partnerships and distribution arrangements under Ghanaian law.
We also advise on the practical application of Ghana’s data protection laws for companies operating across multiple jurisdictions, and the positions that have developed in practice where formal regulatory guidance is limited. We work with clients at the market entry stage, during compliance reviews, and when regulatory developments require existing arrangements to be reassessed.
