The strategic partnership bridges the gap between digital product execution and legal infrastructure, empowering founders across Africa and global markets to scale with confidence.
Singapore, Singapore — 6 January 2026: Lexagle, the global leader in AI-driven contract management technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Backyard Studios, a premier digital product development studio specialising in scalable systems for African businesses. This collaboration aims to deliver a unified execution stack that integrates Lexagle’s AI-powered contract management system directly into the digital products and operational workflows built by Backyard Studios.
Backyard Studios brings its proven ability to build reliable, intuitive platforms, while Lexagle transforms agreements into powerful, searchable insights. Together, they’re raising the bar for what’s possible in the digital space. This partnership addresses a critical market need: ensuring that as startups and logistics operators scale their technology, their legal operations remain agile and automated rather than becoming a bottleneck. The shared mission is to create a single, reliable hub where contract data drives smarter decisions, whether it’s shaping new products or streamlining partnerships.
“Lexagle adds a structured legal and contract intelligence layer to our execution stack,” said Jeffrey Onuigbo, Founder of Backyard Studios. “While our solutions focus on automation, integrations, and operational efficiency, Lexagle ensures contracts are organised, searchable, and actionable, turning legal data into something teams can actually use day to day.”
This collaboration is particularly vital for fast-moving companies in Nigeria and international markets that require scalable legal technology without heavy process overhead. Together, Lexagle and Backyard Studios empower founders to move from idea to execution while maintaining 100% visibility into their commercial commitments, reducing the time taken to close contracts by up to 70%.
“Lexagle stands out for its clarity and practicality. It focuses on solving real operational problems around contracts rather than adding complexity,” Onuigbo added. “Its platform is flexible, implementation-friendly, and designed to integrate into existing business workflows—not sit beside them.”
“Our goal at Lexagle is to remove the administrative friction that traditionally slows down innovation, and by partnering with Backyard Studios, we are making smart contract management a natural, built-in part of every step a company takes as it grows,” said Gerald Heng, CEO of Lexagle. “By integrating contract intelligence into the very systems where business happens, we aren’t just helping founders manage paperwork; we’re giving them a competitive edge. This partnership ensures that as businesses in Africa and beyond accelerate, their legal infrastructure acts as a catalyst for speed rather than a barrier to entry.”
Together, Lexagle and Backyard Studios aim to help digital businesses work with contracts more confidently and efficiently. By combining operational execution with structured contract intelligence, the collaboration supports founders and growing teams in gaining clearer visibility into their agreements, reducing friction in day-to-day operations, and making better-informed decisions as they scale.
