DennisLaw Company Ltd’s recognition at the 2019 MIA Awards as Technology Innovation of the Year marked a turning point for Ghana’s legal technology sector. Behind this achievement was the leadership of Korngo Dosoo, who at the time served as Product Manager and played a pivotal role in the company’s innovation journey.
“This national award recognised Korngo’s leadership in delivering Ghana’s leading legal-tech platform, setting a new benchmark for innovation in the industry.”
The award-winning product was a first-of-its-kind digital legal research platform that redefined how statutes, judgments and case law were accessed in Ghana. For decades, legal information had been fragmented and slow to reach practitioners, creating inefficiencies across the justice and education systems. DennisLaw’s platform introduced a modern, user-friendly system that made critical resources available in real time to lawyers, students, businesses and the wider public.
Its advanced search functions, categorisation and intuitive design were hailed as revolutionary. By democratising access to legal information, the platform bridged a significant gap and quickly became a trusted resource across Ghana’s legal and academic communities.
At the centre of this achievement was Korngo. As Senior Product Manager, she guided the platform from concept to reality, shaping its vision and ensuring its execution matched the needs of the market. She was deeply involved in the discovery process, listening to the frustrations of lawyers and students who struggled to find reliable information. She worked closely with engineers and designers to build a system that was both technically robust and easy to use, while also insisting on feedback from early adopters to refine the product.
Her colleagues recall how she balanced the demands of technical development with the realities of the legal sector, keeping the project on track and focused on impact. “The product could have easily stayed theoretical, but Korngo’s leadership ensured it became a working, impactful solution,” one industry observer remarked.
The MIA Awards, which celebrate excellence in innovation and digital transformation across Africa, provided a national stage for this recognition. For DennisLaw, the award validated years of work in reimagining legal research. For Korngo, it was also a moment of personal acknowledgment — evidence that her leadership in product development had not only built a successful platform but had also delivered a nationally celebrated innovation.
The recognition set a benchmark for legal technology in Ghana and positioned DennisLaw as a pioneer in the sector. It also highlighted the critical role of strong product leadership in transforming industries and creating tangible societal impact. For Korngo, the award remains a career-defining highlight, a testament to her ability to deliver innovation at scale and to shape technology that advances access to justice and knowledge across the country.
