Press release:

HAQQ Legal AI, the company building the AI operating system for the legal industry, has today announced that it has raised a total of $3 million to date, accelerating the development and global deployment of its Legal AI and practice management system.

The round was led by Sowlutions Ventures, with participation from HITEK Ventures, Corona Legal, IM FNDNG, Highworth, Razor Capital, SYMAX, Hamady Trust, and other strategic partners. HAQQ Legal AI is also a member of the NVIDIA Inception Alliance Program, supporting its work on large-scale AI infrastructure and applied legal intelligence.

Building the AI Operating System for Justice

HAQQ Legal AI is building a vertically integrated Legal AI platform that combines AI-native legal intelligence, practice management systems, payments, and institutional infrastructure into a single operating system.

The platform now serves more than 7,000 clients across enterprise legal teams, law firms, bar associations, courts, public institutions, and the general public, enabling secure, auditable, and jurisdiction-aware legal execution at scale.

Rather than offering generic Legal AI, HAQQ Legal AI delivers context-aware, enterprise-grade Legal AI built on structured legal ontologies and firm-specific digital twins. The system models how each organization thinks, works, and decides, producing output aligned with its internal data, governance requirements, and legal workflows.

At the core of the platform is Justinian®, HAQQ Legal AI's proprietary Legal AI engine, designed to produce client-ready legal work in a single prompt. Across internal benchmarks and real-world deployments, HAQQ Legal AI has consistently outperformed general-purpose AI models and legal engines on accuracy, structure, and jurisdictional reliability. The system functions as an AI lawyer, capable of executing a wide range of legal tasks traditionally performed by human lawyers, with speed, consistency, and operational efficiency. Functionally, HAQQ Legal AI is already capable of any intellectual work that a human lawyer can do, and better.

HAQQ Legal AI's mission is to digitise justice and make legal intelligence accessible to everyone, everywhere, without compromising accuracy, governance, or institutional trust.

A Systemic Problem in a $1 Trillion Industry

The legal industry represents over $1 trillion in global economic activity yet remains one of the least digitized sectors worldwide.

Most legal work is still executed using fragmented tools, manual processes, and disconnected data systems, resulting in inefficiency, opacity, and limited access to justice.

HAQQ Legal AI addresses this gap by building the core systems the legal industry has historically lacked: infrastructure designed to run legal work end to end at scale.

Its platform unifies:

• Legal drafting, research, review, and summarization
• End-to-end legal practice management systems and ERPs
• Peer-to-Peer international payments and financial workflows
• Institutional systems for bars, courts, and regulators
• Ontological Legal AI Twin Systems for Large Enterprises
• A Vote of Confidence

HAQQ Legal AI's most recent raise represents a strategic vote of confidence in its ability to reshape the legal industry at an infrastructural level. Capital is being deployed to deepen HAQQ's Legal AI and agent architecture, expand enterprise and institutional deployments across MENA and select global markets, extend and scale its already hardened security, compliance, and data-residency foundations, and scale the engineering, product, and go-to-market teams required to operate a system of record for legal work at global scale.

Founders' Perspective

"Quite a lot of people wonder how we can be so confident about the future of Legal AI, and the answer is quite simple, really: we're the ones building it. Legal AI is much more than just a chatbot; it's ontological systems, security infrastructure, data mapping, context building, and predictive analytics. It's not just about understanding jurisprudence; it's about modelling real-world enterprise decision-making, workflows, and outcomes. This is what it really means to digitize Justice," Antoine Kanaan, founder & CEO of HAQQ Legal AI

"HAQQ is not about replacing human judgement. It's about strengthening it. We use AI to take the repetitive, heavy work off lawyers' shoulders so they can spend more time on what really matters: clear thinking, better decision-making, advocating for clients, and building real human relationships. The goal isn't to turn lawyers into machines. It's to give them better tools so they can be more present, more strategic, and more human in the way they practise law. We are leveraging AI to remove friction so lawyers can do more of what only lawyers can do," Maître Abbas Kabalan, founder & Chief Legal Officer

Looking Ahead

As Legal AI adoption accelerates globally, HAQQ Legal AI is establishing itself as the foundational legal intelligence layer, defining how legal knowledge is created, applied, enforced, and governed across enterprises and institutions.

The company plans to continue expanding across enterprise legal teams, law firms, and public legal institutions, with a long-term vision of enabling secure, transparent, and AI-native justice systems worldwide.
