In commercial agreements, especially those involving parties from different jurisdictions, governing law and jurisdiction clauses are crucial tools for managing legal risk and ensuring predictability in dispute resolution. These clauses determine which legal system governs the interpretation of the contract (the governing law) and which forum will hear disputes (the jurisdiction). In Ghana, as in many other common law jurisdictions, such clauses are recognised and generally enforced by the courts, provided that certain conditions are met. This article examines the legal framework, practical considerations, and enforceability of governing law and jurisdiction clauses in Ghanaian contract law, while providing illustrative examples to highlight key principles.
