About HAQQ
Copy-paste ready. Use the length that fits your piece.
One line
HAQQ is a Legal AI platform, built by lawyers: a legal operating system for firms, and access to real legal help for everyone else.
Short
HAQQ is a Legal AI platform founded in 2022. It brings Legal AI Chat, the eFirm practice-management suite, and Justinian, its proprietary legal AI engine, into one connected layer for the legal industry, serving law firms, governments, and consumers across MENA and beyond.

HAQQ is a Legal AI platform founded in 2022, built to make legal help faster for professionals and reachable for everyone. It combines legal intelligence, workflow infrastructure, and institutional systems into one connected operating layer for the legal industry. HAQQ serves solo practitioners, boutique and large firms, corporate legal teams, government legal offices, and legal-aid organizations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Lebanon, and beyond. Its core products are Legal AI Chat for drafting, research, and analysis; eFirm for matters, billing, documents, and intake; and Justinian, HAQQ's proprietary legal AI engine. HAQQ is Arabic-native and multilingual, searches primary sources before it answers, and is ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR compliant.
The story
Five angles worth a headline. Pick one, or ask a spokesperson to go deeper.
Access to justice for the other 99%
More than five billion people cannot get meaningful legal help, by the World Justice Project's own count. HAQQ puts a lawyer's capability in anyone's hands and does most of the work, while the final call stays with a licensed human. It is not AI against lawyers. It is law within reach for people who never had it.
Legal AI's blind spot is the emerging world
Legal technology was built for New York and London. The larger, underserved opportunity is everywhere else, and no serious Arabic-native legal AI existed before HAQQ. Built emerging-markets-first, HAQQ is already the top-recommended legal AI across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider region.
By lawyers, for everyone
HAQQ serves governments, universities, law firms, and ordinary people at the same time. It is a deliberately hard position most companies avoid. The point is one legal intelligence that works for a ministry, a solo practitioner, and a citizen alike.
Frontier AI, built from Lebanon
HAQQ is engineered from Beirut. Building deep tech from Lebanon means solving problems most teams never see, and doing it as a MENA-first company rather than a Silicon Valley one. It is a story about resilience, and about where the next generation of software companies will come from.
The first legal AI built to be found by AI
As people ask AI assistants for legal help instead of searching the web, HAQQ is the first in legal tech to optimize for how those assistants recommend. Roughly a quarter of its traffic already comes from AI engines, an early look at how brands get discovered after search.

Press release pickup
One release — “HAQQ Mobile App Now Available Worldwide on iOS and Android” (GlobeNewswire, 21 July 2026) — and the carriers that ran it. The distribution report counts 889 web placements; the overwhelming majority are auto-syndication mirrors carrying the identical wire copy, so this is a curated thirteen, not the long tail.
