Legal research your firm can stand behind.
LawGPT answers Nigerian legal questions from your firm's own documents and verified sources — citing only what it can confirm, and escalating anything it can't to a human reviewer instead of guessing.
No credit card · Answers cite verified sources only · Unclear questions get escalated, never guessed
Generally, no. The Labour Act requires a minimum notice period based on length of service, except in cases of summary dismissal for gross misconduct.[1][2]
Most AI tools guess. LawGPT verifies.
Every claim is checked against your firm's indexed documents or a live, Nigeria-aware source before it ever reaches you.
Without verification
- Confident-sounding answers with no real citations
- Fabricated case names and statutes
- No way to tell whether an answer is Nigerian law or borrowed from another jurisdiction
With LawGPT
- Citations resolved against your firm's own indexed documents
- A live web search fallback that prioritizes Nigerian statutes, case law, and regulators
- Unverifiable questions are escalated to a reviewer, not guessed at
How a verified answer gets built
Four deterministic steps stand between your question and an answer.
Step 1
Retrieve
Vector search over indexed documents and connected legal sources.
Step 2
Rank
Results are merged and ranked by relevance score.
Step 3
Verify
Citations must resolve to a real source above threshold — or get dropped.
Step 4
Answer or escalate
Zero verified citations routes straight to admin review, never a guess.
Grounded retrieval
Every answer is built from ranked, indexed document chunks and connected source lookups — never from an unchecked model claim.
Verified citations
Citations are only shown once they resolve to a real source above a relevance threshold, and paywalled sources are labeled as such.
Nigeria-aware web search
When your document library doesn't have the answer, LawGPT searches the live web — prioritizing Nigerian statutes, case law, and regulators.
Admin escalation
Questions with no verifiable answer are routed to the admin Failed Searches queue instead of being guessed at.
Frequently asked questions
Does LawGPT know Nigerian law specifically?
Yes. LawGPT is built for Nigerian legal practice — it assumes Nigerian jurisdiction by default, prioritizes Nigerian statutes and case law, and clearly flags when a source is foreign rather than Nigeria-specific.
What happens if LawGPT can't verify an answer?
It won't guess. If nothing in your document library or live search resolves to a verifiable source, the question is escalated to an admin for review instead of being answered.
Can I upload my firm's own documents and precedents?
Yes. Admins can upload PDFs, Word documents, and text files. Once indexed, LawGPT cites them directly, ahead of general web results.
How do I know if a cited source is paywalled?
Citations pulled from live web search are labeled "Paid" when they come from a known subscription source, so you know before you click through.
