Lexqura exists so that a lawyer in Accra never has to translate an answer written for California, which is why we index the law of a named jurisdiction, cite the section we relied on, and build practice management around the firm that actually exists rather than the one a Silicon Valley roadmap imagines.
Why we started
The answer was always about somewhere else
Ask a general-purpose assistant a question about limitation periods in Ghana and it will answer fluently, confidently, and about American law. Sometimes it invents an Act. A lawyer with twenty years of practice spots that in a second. A trainee under deadline does not, and neither does the client reading the letter.
Meanwhile the tools sold as legal AI were built where the case law is dense, digitised and expensive. They assume a research culture that West African practice does not have, and they price for a market that West African firms are not in.
So we built the corpus first
Before writing a single research feature we indexed the primary law. For Ghana: The 1992 Constitution, 38 Acts of Parliament, and the two principal sets of procedural rules. For the United States: The Constitution, five titles of the United States Code, and all five sets of Federal Rules. That is 55 primary sources broken into 14,063 passages, each one retrievable and quotable with a citation you can open.
Sourced from GhanaLII, the Parliament of Ghana, and the Judicial Service. Sourced from the Office of the Law Revision Counsel USLM releases and Cornell LII.
And we are careful about what we claim
There is no case law in the corpus. No reported judgments, no Supreme Court decisions. If your question turns on how a court applied a provision, Lexqura will point you to the provision and stop there. We would rather tell you the limit than let you discover it in front of a judge.
Nigeria, South Africa, Australia are planned, not live. Practice management works anywhere; only AI research depends on a corpus. And we are early: one pilot firm is using Lexqura in real matters today, which is the number we will keep quoting until it changes.
The team
Small, in Accra, and close to the work
Engineers and lawyers in the same room, shipping against real matters from a real practice. Most of what is in the product came from someone watching how a file actually moves through a Ghanaian firm.
How we decide
Four rules we do not trade away
Jurisdiction first
A research tool that cannot name the Act it relied on is a liability. We index primary law for a named jurisdiction and answer only from it.
Show the source
Every claim links to the section it came from, so verification takes seconds rather than an afternoon in the library.
Confidentiality is not a feature
Your matters are not training data, and no other firm can reach your workspace. That is the floor, not a differentiator.
Built for the firm that exists
Two partners, intermittent power, a clerk who knows where everything is. We design for that practice, not for a 400-lawyer pilot.
Come and build this with us
We hire engineers and lawyers who want their work used by name in someone else’s filing. If that is you, or you want to work with us some other way, the contact page has the right address for each.
