The Opportunity

Problem

Togolese lawyers and business owners underutilize legaltech platforms for case management due to low digital literacy and lack of training.

It overcomes low digital literacy by onboarding via short, mobile-friendly videos and tooltips that teach as users work. Business owners get shared access to track their legal matters without needing tech skills.
