Legarly.com, a new legal technology startup based in Lagos, officially launched with the goal of simplifying legal practice management for professionals across the African continent.
The company’s all-in-one, cloud-based platform is designed to automate and streamline core legal processes, helping lawyers and law firms operate more efficiently.
The platform targets solo lawyers, small firms, and in-house counsel, providing tools to manage everything from matter management and client onboarding to invoicing and document sharing. Legarly’s launch aligns with a growing trend in the legal sector, as a recent publication by Constitutional Discourse found that 87% of lawyers believe legal technology already makes their work easier and more efficient.
“We built Legarly to solve real problems that legal practitioners face every day. From disorganized files and missed deadlines to inefficient client tracking, the legal profession has long needed a solution that truly fits its workflow. Legarly is our answer: simple, powerful, and tailored to the African legal market”, said Akintunde Dare, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Legarly.
The key features of the platform include: Matter Management to track case progress, deadlines, and client communication in one centralized location. Client Intake Forms for creating seamless and customizable digital onboarding experiences. Document Vault offering secure storage and easy retrieval of client files and legal templates. Billing & Invoicing Automating time tracking and generating professional invoices and Calendar & Reminders, an integrated system to help legal professionals never miss a filing or court date.
Legarly is committed to data security and client confidentiality, with the platform running on encrypted servers that feature regular backups and access controls.
The service is currently available with a 30-day free trial and offers affordable monthly subscriptions, with a 25% discount for early adopters. The startup has already begun onboarding users in Nigeria and is actively seeking strategic partnerships with law associations, bar chapters, and legal training institutions to expand its reach.
“Our vision is to support thousands of law professionals, from Lagos to Lusaka, by giving them the tools to operate efficiently, serve clients better, and scale sustainably”, Dare concluded.
