2020 signifies the start of the third decade of the 21st century and it is starting on a very serious note. I am talking “End-of days” and “Armageddon” themed happenings. Barely a month into the year and we were greeted with the Corona Virus outbreak around the world, which brought with it so much uncertainty that many governments and businesses had no option but to close up shop as a precaution. These are interesting times and it is inevitable that only those that adapt can survive the effects of this pandemic. Unfortunately, this applies to both human and business entities, as families are being separated by quarantine and many lives lost daily to the virus.

The ALT Network continues to build the African legal and tech ecosystem. Our first Lagos summit is particularly timely as Nigeria’s FinTech sector was recently formerly recognised as the African leader in financial sector innovation. The role of law and lawyers in shaping enabling and progressive regulatory frameworks for techpreneurs and the opportunities tech innovation provides for the provision of legal services and access to justice, will be at the heart of the discussions on 19th September. The summit will gather the most innovative minds from the Nigerian legal and technology sectors to discuss impactful topics that can help LegalTech businesses and the wider tech sector evolve into more robust going concerns. We hope for a future that comprises of strong innovators and disruptors.
