Since its founding in October 2018, LexNova Advisory has grown into a discreet but highly regarded voice in Ghana’s evolving legal reform ecosystem. The firm, registered under the Business Names Act, is led by former Senior State Attorney Nadia Antwi, whose enduring contributions to legal development are reflected both in courtroom advocacy and institutional mentorship.
Antwi came to national prominence through her appellate litigation work in Tei & Jumbo v. Ceiba Intercontinental Airlines, where her arguments interpreting Ghana’s obligations under the Montreal Convention were cited in a Court of Appeal decision that overturned the trial court’s ruling. The judgment marked a significant recalibration of liability standards in treaty-based aviation claims—a result attributed in part to Antwi’s persuasive and technically rigorous submissions.
Her impact, however, extends well beyond the courtroom. During her public service, Antwi was entrusted with reviewing trial and appellate briefs submitted by junior State Attorneys and legal interns. Her structured mentorship and evaluative input directly shaped hiring and advancement decisions within the Ministry of Justice—an influence several current prosecutors credit as foundational to their careers. That mentoring legacy lives on through LexNova Advisory, where Antwi continues to train early-career professionals working on justice sector consulting projects.
LexNova Advisory remains headquartered in Accra and is actively engaged in legal systems support, public-sector institutional reviews, and advisory work that reflects Antwi’s trademark focus: procedural clarity, strategic reform, and a quiet but steady commitment to improving the legal apparatus of the Ghanaian state.
With a track record that blends doctrinal leadership with professional development, Antwi and LexNova stand as steady anchors in Ghana’s broader movement toward legal modernization.
