In a visionary stride towards reshaping the landscape of the legal sector in Nigeria, Lavelle, a pioneering Legal Edtech Platform, is set to host a groundbreaking webinar titled “Tech Inclusivity: A Catalyst for Progress in Nigeria’s Legal Sector.” Scheduled for Saturday, 3rd February 2024, at 2 PM, this event promises to be a transformative experience for lawyers, law students, tech founders, and enthusiasts alike.
Lavelle, founded by CEO Tega Odia and co-founded by Tomisin Owolabi, is driven by a mission to address a critical gap in the legal sector. Often, legal professionals find themselves lacking practical experience beyond academic studies and internships, placing them at a disadvantage in the competitive legal market. Lavelle seeks to bridge this gap by providing a virtual Legal Edtech Platform.
The focus of the upcoming webinar by Lavelle is Tech Law, a field not widely explored in traditional legal education. Tega emphasizes the importance of lawyers being well-versed in key technological trends that digital companies face in the legal sector. The webinar aims to build a deeper understanding among lawyers on topics ranging from tech law and startups to providing guidance regarding potential investment opportunities and strategic risk management as well as the role of a tech lawyer.
Lavelle has curated a lineup of distinguished speakers in the law sector for the webinar. Keynote speakers include Chidera Okolie, a Tech & Data Protection expert, and Osita James, the Managing Partner of Blackcrest Law Firm. These seasoned professionals bring a wealth of experience to guide participants through the intricacies of the tech legal landscape.
Recognizing the skills gap in the legal sector, Lavelle aims to empower legal professionals with practical knowledge. Every year, over 5000 lawyers graduate without the essential skills to represent tech companies effectively. Lavelle is committed to providing this crucial knowledge and helping legal professionals navigate their careers. Last year’s “Innovation Through Diversity” program, in collaboration with Project Red, exemplifies Lavelle’s commitment which provided tech education and internship opportunities to over 200 women.
The webinar organised by Lavelle is structured with multiple modules to provide an understanding of Tech Law. The first module focuses on the transformation into the legal tech sector, covering legal tech concepts, Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Legal Compliance, and Cybersecurity. The second module delves into advising tech startups on emerging opportunities and risks, covering investment opportunities and funding types.
Attendees can anticipate gaining insights into the global legal framework of tech use and developing skills to navigate potential issues within the legal sector. The webinar aims to equip participants with the ability to provide guidance to tech startups on investment opportunities and risk management strategies.
