THE PROBLEM
“Out of 10,000 vendor profiles reviewed, fewer than 10% were women-owned.”
Women face compliance, governance, and access barriers that block procurement opportunities.
Our Solution (Four Pillars)
Bootcamps & Training
Practical sessions on compliance, governance, contracting.
Toolkits & Governance Packs
Ready-to-use templates (HSE, ESG, NDAs etc).
Community & Mentorship
Peer group + access to experts.
Curated Vendor Database
A living database of credible women-owned vendors accessible to corporates.

Why It Matters
ESG mandates require 30% allocation to women & youth vendors.
Corporates want credible, vendor-ready suppliers.
LMW bridges the gap by curating and training vendors.
About Us
Legally Minded Woman is a pioneering initiative empowering women entrepreneurs to become procurement-ready and unlock access to corporate and government supply chains.
Founded by Unwana Utuk, a strategic supply chain leader with over 20 years of experience and author of The Relational Way, the initiative is backed by The Contract Lab, a governance and supply chain consultancy.
Having reviewed more than 10,000 vendor profiles, Unwana identified a critical gap: fewer than 10% were women-owned businesses competing within meaningful procurement landscapes. Legally Minded Woman exists to change that reality.
Our outcomes go beyond training:
-
Equipping women with governance packs
-
Building a curated database of credible women-owned vendors.
-
Providing corporates and sponsors with a pipeline of ESG-aligned, vendor-ready suppliers.
