Built for Nigerian
legal practice.
Locus is an AI-powered legal document intelligence platform designed specifically for lawyers practising in Nigeria. It helps you understand, question, and redraft legal documents faster — without compromising the professional judgement that defines good legal work.
The Problem
Document review takes too long.
A senior associate at a Lagos firm can spend three to four hours on a first read of a 50-page commercial agreement — identifying the key clauses, flagging risks, noting the parties' obligations. That time compounds across a week, a month, a year.
Meanwhile, clients expect faster turnaround. Briefs pile up. The work doesn't get easier.
Our Approach
AI as a thinking tool, not a replacement.
Locus is not designed to replace lawyers. Nigerian law is too context-specific, too reliant on local practice and judicial interpretation, for any AI system to substitute professional judgment. What AI can do is compress the routine work — the reading, the extracting, the restructuring — so that lawyers can spend more time on the parts of the job that require expertise.
Upload an agreement. Ask Locus what the indemnity position is. Ask whether the penalty clause is enforceable. Get a redraft in Nigerian Court format in 20 seconds. Then review it, apply your judgment, and sign off. That's the workflow Locus is built to enable.
What Locus Does
Document Q&A
Ask any question about an uploaded document. Locus reads the full text and answers based solely on what the document says — no hallucination from general legal knowledge.
AI Redrafting
Redraft documents in four styles: improved plain English, formal legal English, Nigerian Court format, or simplified language for non-lawyer clients.
Bundle Search
Group documents for a matter into a collection and query them together. Useful for interrogating a suite of transaction documents or a bundle of court filings.
Case Strategy
Generate an AI-assisted case strategy brief from the documents in a collection — a starting point for matter planning, not a finished strategy.
Scan to PDF
Use your phone camera to scan physical documents. Locus converts the images to searchable PDF and adds them to your library.
Redraft Q&A
Switch between the original document and any saved redraft within the same conversation. Ask questions about what changed, what was added, or what the redraft says on a specific point.
Built for Nigeria
Local practice. Local pricing.
Most AI legal tools are built for the US or UK market — priced in dollars, trained on common law traditions that don't always map cleanly onto Nigerian practice, designed for BigLaw workflows that don't reflect the reality of most Nigerian chambers.
Locus is built and priced for Nigerian practitioners. Our redrafting styles include Nigerian Court format. Our Q&A system references what the document actually says, rather than applying a generalised AI understanding of law that may not reflect Nigerian judicial interpretation.
Subscription plans start at ₦8,000 per month — less than the fee on a single hour of a junior associate's time.
Data & Confidentiality
Your clients' documents stay yours.
We understand that legal documents are confidential, often privileged, and carry serious professional obligations under the Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners in Nigeria.
We do not use your documents to train AI models.
Your documents are stored with encryption at rest on AWS infrastructure.
Our AI inference provider (Groq) processes queries without retaining document content.
You can delete any document at any time.
Our staff do not read your documents except where you request support.
Important
Locus does not provide legal advice.
Everything generated by Locus — answers, redrafts, summaries, strategy briefs — is an AI-assisted output that requires professional review before reliance. Locus is a tool for lawyers, not a lawyer. It does not create a solicitor-client relationship. The professional judgment, verification, and responsibility for any document you produce or advice you give remains with you.
Start with the Free plan.
Upload your first document, ask Locus three questions about it, and see whether it changes how you work. No payment required to start.
