Taiwan-born businessman in Kumasi called to the Ghana Bar
10th October 2025
In an inspiring tale of perseverance and cross-cultural achievement, Paul Chen, a Taiwan-born entrepreneur who has spent most of his life in Ghana, has been officially called to the Ghana Bar, marking a major personal and professional accomplishment.
Having relocated to Ghana at a young age, Paul built a successful business in Kumasi before deciding to pursue a career in law — a decision he says was motivated by his admiration for legal education and its relevance to business growth.
“I came to Ghana when I was young, and over the years, I’ve realized how powerful legal knowledge can be,” Paul explained. “It’s a tool that helps you make better decisions, especially in business.”
The journey to becoming a lawyer was far from easy. Ghana’s legal training system is known for its intensity and high standards, but Paul says the guidance and mentorship of lecturers and judges kept him focused and motivated.
“It was tough, but I had a lot of support from my teachers and mentors. Their encouragement made all the difference,” he shared.
Paul’s achievement goes beyond personal success — it reflects Ghana’s growing inclusivity and the nation’s openness to individuals from different cultural backgrounds who choose to contribute to its development.
His story represents not just academic triumph but also the spirit of determination, integration, and hope that defines modern Ghana.
