About Us
The ALT Network aims to build the African legal and tech ecosystem by facilitating the growth of enabling legislative and regulatory environments for tech innovation across all sectors, supporting legal technological entrepreneurship, and contributing to efficiency in the design and delivery of legal services across the continent.
Our Story
We are a team of legal sector insiders and connectors working around the world with law firms, regulators, and governments. We are witnessing the positive disruption of the legal sector by technology around the world and believe that innovation and technology can transform the delivery of legal services in Africa to boost economies and improve people’s lives. Lawyers can also play a critical role in creating an enabling legislative and regulatory environment for tech innovation across sectors and industries and we aim to facilitate those connections.

“In 2017, the African Law & Tech Network (ALT Network) was born, the first African legal innovation ‘hub’, based in Nigeria but with a vocation to assist all operators on the continent. ‘The solutions that facilitate access to justice are the most common among “start-ups” African legalities,’ says Nankunda Katangaza, co-founder of the network. Nigeria, Uganda, Benin, Kenya, South Africa, and the Republic of the Congo are the countries where some of the most legal-tech [start-ups] are located of the continent, whose technology allows, among other things, access to cloud software for lawyers to process documentation with governments.”
