The centre of Nigeria's legal tech ecosystem.
A not-for-profit network bringing together the lawyers, students, founders, regulators and researchers shaping how technology serves law and justice in Nigeria.
Partner organisations
Built so Nigerian lawyers are part of the conversation.
NLTN connects the people, institutions and ideas that define Nigeria's legal technology ecosystem, and helps the profession meet the pace of change with confidence.
Technology is not the biggest threat facing lawyers. Complacency is.
Chioma Wilson-DikeFounder, NLTN and Lexlytic
Chioma built her career across private legal practice, compliance and international regulatory environments. There she watched legal work become data-driven, automated and monitored in real time. Back home, many lawyers and law students weren't part of those conversations, because they lacked access, exposure and community. Ability was never the gap.
NLTN was founded to close that gap: one platform where lawyers, technologists, innovators, academics, regulators and students prepare together for the future of legal services, treating legal tech as a professional necessity rather than a niche interest.
From consumer to creator of legal technology.
We want legal tech to become a normal part of legal education, legal practice and legal policy across Nigeria, and ultimately across Africa.
That means law students graduating with real exposure to emerging technology. It means lawyers in every part of the country, not only the major commercial centres, having access to modern tools. And it means firms, courts and regulators adopting innovation responsibly.
Africa faces its own legal, regulatory and access-to-justice challenges. We don't assume every solution has to come from elsewhere. NLTN exists to help build a generation of lawyers, founders, researchers and policymakers who create solutions for African legal systems and take them to the world.
