At a time when Ghana celebrates a record number of women being called to the Bar, one name stands as a bridge between the pioneers and the new generation — Bianca Akweley Clinton, the British-Ghanaian international lawyer marking 20 years of distinguished service to the legal profession.

Bianca’s journey began with her Call to the Ghana Bar in 2005, making her one of the early female lawyers to rise through the corporate and financial ranks at a time when women’s leadership in the legal sector was still emerging. She later qualified as a Solicitor of England & Wales, combining global expertise with deep African roots.

Over two decades, Bianca has served as Head of Legal at ProCredit Ghana, Head of Legal at Access Bank, and Legal Manager at PwC Switzerland, before consulting for the World Bank Group on regulatory and governance reforms across the ECOWAS region. Her studies in Microeconomics at Oxford University further sharpened her strategic approach to law and economics.

Today, Bianca serves as Senior Partner at Clinton Consultancy, the Pan-African law and strategy firm she co-founded in 2011 with her twin sister, Amanda Clinton, the well-known Menzgold victims’ lawyer and media commentator.

While Amanda is often the public face of the firm, Bianca is the quiet yet powerful engine driving its operations across Ghana, the UK, and other African markets.

Clinton Consultancy’s work spans commercial law, litigation, gold trade verification, investor relocation, anti-financial crime frameworks, and sovereign advisory. Bianca is also the author of Africa’s Renaissance and shares thought leadership through www.BiancaClinton.org.

Married to Rexford Allotey and mother to twin daughters — Anastasia-Grace and Victoria-Grace — Bianca embodies grace, intellect, and balance.

“This milestone is not just about looking back — it’s about recommitting to building Africa’s legal and financial institutions for a stronger, more inclusive future,” she said.

As Ghana welcomes a new generation of women lawyers, **Bianca Akweley Clinton’s 20-year legacy reminds us that true leadership is often exercised not in the spotlight, but in the quiet, consistent shaping of systems that outlast us all.
