TLP Advisory, originally founded in Lagos in 2014 as The Longe Practice, has officially expanded its footprint into the UK, US, and Canada to support the growing international ambitions of African tech startups and investors. The firm combines its deep expertise in venture law, intellectual property, fundraising, and regulatory compliance with its legal-tech platform DIYLaw, which automates over 20 legal workflows for entrepreneurs. Through this global expansion and its registration with the UK’s Solicitors Regulation Authority and a merger with a U.S. firm, TLP now operates from Lagos, London, New York, and Toronto, serving as a critical bridge for African ventures seeking access to international capital and regulatory frameworks. Having advised on more than $400 million in investment transactions and driven up to 300% year-on-year company growth, TLP positions itself as a strategic ally for African founders scaling internationally.
