Esheria for legal tech builders

Build legal products on African legal infrastructure your users can verify.

Esheria gives legal AI companies, regtech platforms, GRC products, CLM tools, and agent teams the source-backed data layer to serve African markets: structured law, regulatory packs, obligations, filing calendars, evidence requirements, relationship graphs, change intelligence, and claim verification.

The builder problem

Your product can only scale where the legal data can hold up.

If you are building a legal AI assistant, compliance platform, CLM tool, GRC system, corporate secretarial product, regulatory dashboard, or agentic workflow, users eventually ask a simple product question: can we rely on this in our market?

For African jurisdictions, reliability is not a prompt problem. Source material is fragmented across statutes, regulations, cases, regulators, filings, notices, guidance, forms, and institutional sources, then changes on timelines your product still has to track.

Esheria gives builders the missing infrastructure layer: structured legal data, source provenance, version history, jurisdictional context, change monitoring, and verification workflows that can survive production use.

Infrastructure layer

The African legal data layer for products, platforms, and agents.

01

Regulatory packs.

Find source-backed legal and regulatory packs by jurisdiction, sector, domain, readiness, version, coverage, and limitation.

02

Obligations and filings.

Pull obligations, filing rules, evidence requirements, deadlines, penalties, legal basis, and review metadata into your workflow.

03

Applicability checks.

Test what applies to an entity, product, activity, role, sector, market-entry profile, or data-processing footprint.

04

Change intelligence.

Track version changes, legal diffs, pack updates, change events, impact signals, and update windows for live products.

05

Relationship graphs.

Query how obligations, sources, filings, evidence, sectors, regulators, and entity facts connect across a market.

06

Claim verification.

Verify generated or user-supplied legal claims before your product exposes them to a user, agent, or workflow.

Products builders are shipping

Built for the products ambitious teams are already shipping.

01

Legal AI assistants.

Ground answers in published, citation-backed legal facts before they reach lawyers, founders, compliance teams, or agents.

02

Compliance and GRC platforms.

Convert regulatory material into obligations, controls, evidence requests, deadlines, penalties, audit trails, and reports.

03

Regtech and fintech products.

Support market entry, licensing, privacy, AML, financial crime, employment, tax, and corporate compliance workflows.

04

CLM and legal operations tools.

Attach local legal requirements, clause positions, obligations, filings, and review context to operational workflows.

05

Corporate secretarial platforms.

Power entity maintenance, beneficial ownership, filing calendars, registry workflows, governance, and board processes.

06

Agentic products.

Give AI agents controlled read-only legal tools instead of loose PDFs, with citations, limitations, and review gates preserved.

Integration surfaces

Start where you build today. Scale into production infrastructure.

01

API.

Build directly against regulatory packs, obligations, applicability, calendars, evidence, graph queries, exports, change events, and claim verification.

02

CLI.

Run smoke checks, inspect packs, list obligations, test applicability, retrieve evidence, check calendars, verify claims, and automate workflows from the command line.

03

MCP tools.

Connect read-only regulatory tools to agent hosts such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex MCP, or internal AI systems.

04

OpenAPI and implementation support.

Use documented endpoints, examples, error envelopes, trace IDs, authentication patterns, and technical guidance from prototype to production.

A fast builder flow

From legal source to product decision, with traceability preserved.

Why Esheria

A serious infrastructure partner for products that need legal credibility.

01

Africa-first legal depth.

We build from each market's institutions, source formats, regulators, legal history, and ways of reasoning with authority.

02

Source-backed by design.

Outputs preserve citations, quote spans, source IDs, authority references, readiness labels, limitations, and trace IDs.

03

Built by lawyers and engineers.

Legal researchers, commercial lawyers, data engineers, retrieval specialists, infrastructure engineers, and product builders work on the same system.

04

Ready for global product teams.

Give your product credible African coverage without rebuilding legal data pipelines market by market.

05

Infrastructure, not a wrapper.

We do not simply prompt over files. We structure legal knowledge into systems that products, agents, workflows, and institutions can consume.

06

Partnership when it matters.

Work with us on deeper coverage, higher volume, custom packs, integration design, and implementation support.

Trust and guardrails

Guardrails your users, customers, and legal reviewers can inspect.

01

Source trail.

Carry citations, quote spans, source IDs, pack versions, authority references, and legal basis into your product experience.

02

Readiness and limits.

Show readiness labels and limitation disclosures instead of implying every answer has the same level of support.

03

Predictable behaviour.

Use trace IDs, stable error envelopes, idempotency keys, and audit hooks for production-grade client behaviour.

04

Human review gates.

Route unsupported, ambiguous, high-risk, or jurisdiction-sensitive outputs to qualified review before user reliance.

05

Agent-safe delivery.

Give agents controlled functions and read-only legal tools, not uncontrolled legal documents or unsourced model memory.

06

Defensible product posture.

Help users see what is grounded, what is limited, and where legal judgement still belongs.

Built in Africa for builders going global

African markets should not be the unsupported edge case in global legal technology.

If your product serves companies, lawyers, compliance teams, financial institutions, founders, researchers, or agents operating across markets, African legal coverage cannot be a placeholder on the roadmap.

Esheria gives builders a technical and legal partner on the continent: a team that understands the data problem, the legal problem, and the infrastructure problem at the same time.

You build the product experience. Esheria powers the legal data layer underneath it, so your team can serve African markets with more depth, more confidence, and less time spent rebuilding legal data pipelines from scratch.

What it costs

Start with API access. Scale with coverage, usage, and partnership depth.

Pricing is scoped around jurisdictions, regulatory domains, API volume, integration surfaces, support model, and whether your team needs standard packs, custom coverage, or a deeper infrastructure partnership.

Start with the API, test with the CLI, connect agents through MCP, and work with us when your product needs broader coverage, higher volume, or market-specific legal infrastructure support.
