A new entrant has emerged in Africa’s fast-growing legal technology sector, with Lagos-based startup Legarly.com officially launching its cloud-based platform to digitise and streamline legal practice across the continent.

The all-in-one solution is designed for lawyers, law firms, and in-house counsel, offering tools for matter tracking, client onboarding, invoicing, document management, and automated reminders all within a secure digital environment.

Legarly’s debut comes at a time when the legal profession is undergoing rapid digital transformation. A recent publication by Constitutional Discourse revealed that 87 per cent of lawyers believe technology already makes their work easier and more efficient.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Akintunde Dare, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Legarly, said the platform was built to solve persistent operational bottlenecks in the legal profession.

“From disorganised files and missed deadlines to inefficient client tracking, the legal profession has long needed a solution that truly fits its workflow,” Dare said. “Legarly is our answer: simple, powerful, and tailored to the African legal market.”

The platform allows users to track case progress, deadlines, and communication in one place. It also streamlines client onboarding through digital intake forms, provides secure document vaults for templates and case files, and automates time tracking and billing with professional invoicing. Integrated calendars and reminder functions further help lawyers avoid missed filings or court appearances.

Legarly is currently available to solo practitioners, small firms, and legal departments. It offers a 30-day free trial and discounted subscription rates for early adopters. To ensure confidentiality, the company runs its system on encrypted servers with routine backups and strict access controls.

The startup has already begun onboarding early users in Nigeria and is pursuing partnerships with bar associations, legal training institutions, and professional networks to accelerate adoption across Africa.

“Africa’s legal landscape is evolving, and technology must play a central role in that evolution,” Dare added. “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.”
