London, United Kingdom. August 29th, 2024 — vLex is excited to announce a landmark expansion of its award-winning legal research platform, now featuring an extensive array of Nigerian legal materials from DSC Publications. A year after the initial launch, this partnership continues to provide invaluable resources to the Nigerian legal community. Notably, Aluko & Oyebode, Nigeria's largest full-service law firm, has now integrated these resources into their practice, gaining a significant technological advantage.

"vLex is an excellent resource offering comprehensive information on Nigerian and UK law, including case law, all in one platform. What sets vLex apart is its commitment to continuous improvement and its responsiveness to user feedback." - David Ajayi, Knowledge and Business Intelligence Manager, Aluko & Oyebode

The comprehensive collections available on vLex include Nigerian Supreme Court cases from 1956 to 1993, Sasegbon’s Laws of Nigeria, Sasegbon's Judicial Dictionary and Sasegbon on Election Petitions, and a broad spectrum of judgments from the National Industrial Court, dating back to 1970, and the Federal Capital Territory High Court from 2003.

These authoritative materials deliver a solid legal framework for practitioners in Nigeria, offering insights into election law, key legal definitions, and both reported and unreported superior court judgments. Accessible alongside vLex’s global law library, which encompasses legal materials from over 100 countries, these resources are further enhanced by AI-powered technology to support comprehensive comparative research.

"Nigeria is moving forward with purpose, thanks to its robust legal framework supported by public and private institutions. In line with the Nigerian Government's 'National Digital Economy and E-Governance Bill,' we're unlocking comprehensive legal access. My late father always said, "Always be on the quest for knowledge. Those are the signs of a true lawyer." Dsc Publications teamed up with vLex in late 2023, believing their digital tools are game-changers for legal professionals in Nigeria and across Africa." - Deji Sasegbon, Director, Dsc Publications.

By integrating these essential Nigerian legal resources, vLex reaffirms its commitment to providing comprehensive legal research tools and fostering global legal knowledge. This milestone underscores vLex’s mission to support legal professionals worldwide with unparalleled access to critical legal information.
