Nigerian commercial litigation increasingly turns on documentary evidence, CAC filings, bank mandates, correspondence chains. Courts expect you to show not only what you tendered, but how it was held before tender.

Courthouse steps, where documentary evidence must arrive with a defensible trail.

Largence Evidence records each handoff: who received a file, when it was accessed, and whether the hash changed. The index is matter-scoped and exportable for hearing bundles.

CAC and corporate records

Where corporate registry extracts and SCUML filings form part of your case theory, linking them to exhibit numbers early prevents the scramble before trial. Chronology generation pulls from the same registry, dates stay consistent across disclosure and trial binders.

Custody is not a feature you turn on before trial. It is the default posture for every item in the matter.
