At Merton & Everett LLP, we are proud to be Ghana’s only openly pro-queer law firm. Our work is defined not just by allyship in principle, but by deep, strategic, and fearless legal representation for LGBTQ+ individuals and other minority communities whose rights are under sustained attack.

We provide substantive legal support across a range of critical issues—strategic litigation against discriminatory laws, defence in criminal proceedings grounded in sexual orientation or gender identity, public interest interventions, and advocacy for constitutional and legal reform. We bring constitutional expertise, human rights law, and creative litigation strategies to bear on the most complex and sensitive cases, often where other firms cannot or will not act.

Our firm is at the frontlines of the legal resistance to oppression, building precedent, challenging systemic discrimination, and holding state and private actors accountable. We combine litigation with legal education, policy engagement, and grassroots support to address the structural nature of inequality.

Beyond the courtroom, we are actively shaping the legal landscape through collaborations with activist movements, community-based organisations, and international partners, ensuring our work is grounded in lived experience and committed to durable change.

If you or your organisation is facing discrimination, legal risk, or needs support navigating the justice system, know this: Merton & Everett LLP will not just represent you—we will stand with you. With courage, with skill, and with a vision of justice that includes all of us.
