A Ghana-based Taiwanese national, Chen Paul, known in Ghana as Kwame Chen, has made history by being called to the Ghana Bar, marking a significant milestone for foreign nationals contributing to the country’s legal and professional landscape.
Chen, who hails from Taiwan, revealed that he was partly raised in Ghana and considers the country a second home. “I am ethnically Chinese and come from Taiwan, but Ghana has played a major role in shaping who I am,” he shared after the ceremony.
He completed his secondary education at T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School (T.I AMASS), Kumasi, in 1995 before furthering his studies in the United States, where he obtained both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
For over a decade, Chen worked with Texas Instruments, one of the world’s leading semiconductor companies, before deciding to return to Ghana to pursue a new path in law.
Upon his return, he enrolled at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), earning an LLB, and later completed the Professional Law Course at the Ghana School of Law, Kumasi campus.
His successful call to the Bar reflects the growing international appeal of Ghana’s legal system and underscores the nation’s openness to diversity and professional excellence across cultures.
