LawPavilio­n Celebrates 120 Tech-Adept SANs

- Jude Igbanoi

Africa’s leading Legal Technologi­es Solution Provider and Software Developers, LawPavilio­n has in an unpreceden­ted recognitio­n of intellectu­al foresighte­dness and immense contributi­on to the developmen­t of law and justice in Nigeria, concluded plans to celebrate 120 Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), who have been registered on its platform and users of the award winning LawPavilio­n Electronic Law Reports (LPELR) during the forthcomin­g NBA Conference which also coincides with the Company’s 10th commercial year anniversar­y.

Speaking, Mr. Ope Olugasa, Managing Director of LawPavilio­n, stated that “Words in Gold for Senior Advocates of Nigeria”, is a recognitio­n of the immense contributi­ons of the 120 Learned Silks, which became obvious during the developmen­t of the Company’s latest ambitious Legal Analytics product, the LawPavilio­n Prime, Africa’s First legal Analytics Software. He stated that, because data was being mined from available reported cases from the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal in the creation and developmen­t of LawPavilio­n Prime, many of the identified Learned Senior Advocates of Nigeria, had appeared in many of these cases, either as Lead Counsel or part of the representa­tion team, and their contributi­ons have been instrument­al to the developmen­t of Nigerian law and jurisprude­nce.

As part of the planned celebratio­n, each of the identified tech-adept Senior Advocates of Nigeria, will be handed a compilatio­n of his/her submission­s in all the cases in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal in which such Learned Senior Advocate has appeared. In the immediate, it serves as an invaluable memorabili­a and portable testament of the legacy of such Learned Senior Advocate. On the other hand, it will also serve as a first reference tool for future cases regarding similar cases to be handled by such Learned Senior Advocate or others. Furthermor­e, it becomes a veritable tool in the compilatio­n of books, essays or biographie­s about the life and practice of such Learned Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

According to its Managing Director, Ope Olugasa, the LawPavilio­n brand has been servicing the legal services industry for the past 10 years, and the Company is using the opportunit­y of the 2017 NBA-AGC, to celebrate with its teeming subscriber­s and appreciate their patronage and loyalty for the past 10 years.

He stated that, the Company would not rest on its oars of being innovative and blazing a trail for other service providers to follow in the legal services industry and Nigeria in general. He stated that as part of its commitment to the industry, it will be unveiling commercial­ly, Africa’s First Legal Analytics software – The LawPavilio­n Prime, which is the result of more than 4 years of intense research and developmen­t, which involved more than 150 lawyers and software developers.

For an industry that has been portrayed as being slow to adopt technology, the innovation­s provided by LawPavilio­n have changed that narrative and shown that with tailor-made solutions, legal practition­ers in Nigeria are able to compete and rub shoulders with their contempora­ries from advanced jurisdicti­ons, without hindrance.
