Delivered by Mavouna Avocats · Pan-African OHADA lawyer network
One-off legal advice has a limit — here it is
Traditional hourly billing firm ❌
Ongoing legal support ✅
4 pillars, one single fee
10 hours of lawyer time per month, allocated to your current priorities — not a meter running with every exchange.
Contract review
Send us your contracts as they come, without rethinking the budget every time. Included in your monthly 10 hours, never billed per contract.
Compliance
We identify what needs updating as your company grows — regulatory obligations, data protection, country-by-country specifics across the OHADA zone.
Team support
Your sales, product or HR teams have a legal question? They have a lawyer to ask directly, instead of an internal memo to draft on their own.
Legal infrastructure
Template library, contracting process, internal documentation — we structure what would otherwise stay improvised and dependent on a single person.
The signs that one-off advice isn't enough anymore
You sign contracts every week
Every new client, partner or supplier wants their own contract. You no longer have time to send everything out case by case.
You operate in several OHADA countries
Every jurisdiction has its own rules. You want one lawyer who knows them all, not a different one to contact for each country.
Hourly invoices are wearing you down
Every question has a price, every email can cost money. You want a predictable legal budget, fixed in advance.
No in-house counsel yet
Too early to hire full-time, too advanced to do without. An outsourced lawyer bridges the gap.
Your legal infrastructure is scattered
Contracts spread across different folders, no templates, no process. You want it properly structured, once and for all.
You're raising funds or growing fast
Investors and partners expect a level of legal rigour that ad hoc arrangements can no longer deliver.
One fee, no surprises
A single monthly fee, designed to cover a standard volume of legal activity — not a bill that grows with every exchange.
Ongoing legal support
For startups that want to structure their legal function for the long run, not handle a single contract in isolation

We understand your priorities, your ongoing contracts and your risk areas.
30 minYour dedicated lawyer takes over
Every month, your 10 hours are used on what matters: contracts, compliance, teams, infrastructure.
Every monthWhat our clients say
"ALF's involvement was highly structuring for JELANI from the earliest stages: legal scoping, intellectual property protection, and governance between founders. Sonia asks the right questions, anticipates risks and helps make clear legal decisions."
"Whether as a client or as a mentee, Sonia's message is always clear and useful. ALF's training and support helped me better understand legal matters and contract with more confidence."
Ongoing legal support: your questions
10 hours of lawyer time per month, covering your contract review, compliance, team support and the build-out of your legal infrastructure. Everything is included except exceptional transactions, which are quoted separately.
The fee is calibrated to cover a standard monthly volume. If a matter falls outside this scope — an exceptional transaction, for example — we let you know before committing extra time, and it's quoted separately. Never a surprise invoice.
You start with the free Legal OS assessment, then a 30-minute onboarding call to understand your priorities, ongoing contracts and risk areas. Your dedicated lawyer then takes over from the following month.
Legal Factory handles one contract at a time, at a fixed price, with no ongoing commitment — ideal for a one-off need. Ongoing legal support covers your entire legal function over time: contracts, compliance, teams, infrastructure — with the same lawyer who knows your file from one month to the next.
Start with the free ALF Legal OS assessment. In 5 minutes, it evaluates your company's legal maturity across 6 pillars and tells you clearly whether ongoing support is justified today, or whether a one-off review is enough for now.
Yes. Many clients start with a one-off contract review through Legal Factory, then move to ongoing support once the need becomes recurring — weekly contract signing, multi-country expansion, or simply being tired of hourly billing.
