Expertise across Africa's
technology landscape.
We operate at the frontier of the digital economy. Our model is built for fast-moving technology companies operating in Africa, whether you are entering highly regulated markets, scaling across borders, or both.
Built for Frontier Innovators
Traditional advice doesn't solve technology-specific problems. We specialize in mapping out and building legal frameworks tailored to specific operational requirements.
AI & Software
Emerging legal and compliance questions around data usage, model IP frameworks, AI ethics governance, commercial agreements, and cross-border data structures.
Fintech & Payments
Navigating payment (PSP, PSSP, PSB) licensing and MFB approvals across CBN, FIRS, and SEC, with robust AML/KYC frameworks and investor-ready compliance packages.
Digital Assets & VASPs
Securing SEC VASP registration, managing crypto-asset AML obligations, resolving CBN payment gateway guidelines, and advising on token structuring.
SaaS & Platforms
Building data protection programs for NDPR compliance, drafting multi-jurisdictional terms of service, and managing data processing agreements (DPAs).
Funded Startups
Legal structures passing institutional diligence: co-founder agreements, cap tables, SAFE notes, group holding companies, and Series round documentation packages.
Healthtech
Health data protection auditing, sector-specific licensing compliance (MDCN, PCN), medical platform agreements, and liabilities mitigation structure.
Insurtech
NAICOM licensing pathway navigation, drafting distribution partnership agreements, policy drafting, and digital insurance integration compliance.
Agritech & Logistics
Developing supply chain contract frameworks, marketplace agreement terms, payment provider integrations, and agricultural partnership agreements.
