“It is a comprehensive guide which aims to assist users to be more effective in performing their duties and providing best services with all the required knowledge and information at their disposal. It contains current and correct regulations, guidelines, policies and public notices from various Regulatory Bodies such as the DPR, FIRS, Corporate Affairs Commission, Nigerian Communications Commission, Central Bank of Nigeria, etc.

“It also contains updated and current Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria up to 2014, Reported Cases of the Federal High Court and the National Industrial Court, Annotated Forms and Precedents with relevant Cases, Statutes, Regulations or Guidelines related to such precedent, and a super-fast Search Engine which searches through all the contents to bring back concise and comprehensive results,” he said.

The company’s products are the results of extensive research and deliberations with relevant stakeholders in the legal industry to ensure that their most pressing needs are taken care of through the use of technology, Olugasa maintained.

He further reiterated that LawPavilion’s position as an ICT partner to the Nigerian legal industry by developing effective and enhanced solutions for practitioners, their capacity as Judges, advocate or solicitor.

According to him, the company will remain resolute in its drive to empower professionals through its innovative and user-friendly products, excellent customer service and integrity.

The company only recently released Case Management and Court Management Solutions (software) into the legal market for all strata of practitioners, so that lawyers and judges would have access to all records of their cases on selected mobile devices, thereby eliminating the inability to work due to absence from the office or court.

The managing director also hinted that the company was already in talks with several device manufacturers to introduce and offer affordable packages to enable legal practitioners purchase ICT devices for their official and personal use; thereby promoting the adoption of ICT by the entire legal industry in Nigeria.

Participants from Nigeria at the 2014 IBA conference lauded LawPavilion’s showcase at the event, noting that it was a good way for the country to highlight its competence and versatility in international legal practice.
