A groundbreaking legal-tech project, LexLocator, is on the horizon and poised to revolutionize the delivery and management of legal services in Nigeria. Co-founded by two siblings, Olukayode “Kay” Adebiyi, a software developer and business broker, and Jumoke Adebiyi renowned IP and innovation lawyer, LexLocator is currently in development and promises to set a new standard for how lawyers and clients connect, collaborate, and conduct business in the digital age.
LexLocator is designed as a next-generation platform that leverages artificial intelligence, geo-location technology, and cloud-based practice management to address longstanding challenges in Nigeria’s legal sector. Its core functionalities include AI-powered legal matchmaking, which analyzes case requirements and lawyer expertise to ensure clients are paired with the most suitable legal professionals. This approach aims to replace the often inefficient, informal referral systems with a data-driven, transparent process.
The platform also integrates robust cloud-based tools for case and contract management, providing lawyers and clients with a secure, real-time collaborative environment. Notably, LexLocator’s geospatial precision ensures that legal assistance is accessible across Nigeria, bridging the gap between urban centers and underserved rural communities. By offering a virtual law firm infrastructure, LexLocator enables practitioners to operate efficiently from anywhere, reducing overhead costs and expanding access to justice.
Target users include individuals and businesses seeking on-demand legal services, lawyers looking to grow their client base or expand online, and law students seeking internships through a dedicated job board. The platform’s comprehensive approach is set to empower all stakeholders in the legal ecosystem, from seasoned professionals to the next generation of legal talent.
Jumoke Adebiyi, LexLocator’s co-founder, is widely recognized as a trailblazer in intellectual property and innovation law in Nigeria. Holding a master’s degree in law from the prestigious Robert H. McKinney School of Law, Indiana University, her career is marked by a commitment to legal excellence, technological advancement, and the empowerment of legal professionals. Jumoke’s leadership and vision have positioned her at the forefront of legal innovation, making her a key figure to watch as LexLocator prepares to launch and reshape the future of law practice in Nigeria.
LexLocator remains in active development, but its ambitious vision and innovative features signal a transformative shift for Nigeria’s legal industry—one that promises greater efficiency, accessibility, and transparency for all.
