Legal software in Africa is broken. We aren't here to iterate; we are here to rebuild. These are the principles that govern every line of code we write.
No client-facing web portals. No mobile app downloads. No login credentials. Every client interaction MUST flow through WhatsApp. We meet the client where they live, removing 100% of the friction from the client experience.
Courtrooms in Bauchi and Lagos Island share one thing: erratic connectivity. Lawya functions perfectly without internet. Sync occurs opportunistically. We believe a lawyer's productivity should not be at the mercy of a data signal.
Argü AI is not a feature; it is the OS. Every click, message, and document is processed, tagged, and enhanced in real-time. We leverage intelligence to automate the drudgery of the legal practice.
Pricing, payments, and financial calculations happen in NGN ONLY. We reject the "Dollarized" web. Lawya is built for the Nigerian banking system, integrating natively with Paystack and local gateways.
Every data capture includes explicit consent. Nigerian Data Protection Regulation is our primary standard; global standards are secondary. Data sovereignty is not optional.
We don't copy Silicon Valley. We design for Lagos traffic, Abuja power outages, and the unique workflows of Nigerian legal practice.
Most legal tech assumes stable internet, desktop-first workflows, and credit card payments. We assume WhatsApp, offline work, and Naira transactions.
Our AI understands Pidgin. Our templates follow NBA formatting. Our compliance is NDPR-native. This is software built by Nigerians, for Nigerians.
Our document templates, AI training methodology, and API specifications are open source. We believe in radical transparency for tools that handle privileged communications.
5% of our revenue funds free Lawya access for legal aid organizations and pro bono practitioners serving underrepresented communities.
