Press
Everything a journalist, editor, or podcaster needs to tell the HAQQ story: the angles, the people to book, the facts, and the assets. Take what you need.
HAQQ is a Legal AI platform built by lawyers. This tab has what you need to run a story without a call: the boilerplate, the angles editors are already using, the people you can book, the facts, and the brand assets. Anything missing, the press team replies within one business day.
Where things are. About HAQQ has the copy-paste boilerplate, the fact table and the compliance wording. Founder's story has the founder bios and the long-form origin Q&A. People has who to book, the org shape and the photography. Brand has the marks, the palette and the type rules. This page is what is happening now.

Story angles
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.

Five entries on the marketing site's press kit (The Times, Station F, The Africa Report, AGBI and AI Insider) link to an outlet homepage rather than to a piece about HAQQ, so they are not listed above as coverage.
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.
This is one story reproduced many times, not thirteen independent stories. Only Venture Post is original reporting with a byline; the seven Nexstar-family stations (KTLA, WGN, PIX11, KRON4, FOX 8, WFLA, FOX 5) all serve the same GlobeNewswire item under /business/press-releases/.

Announcements
HAQQ's own announcements, grouped by what they are rather than listed by date. Company and funding news leads, then product releases, founder perspective, community programmes, and earlier partnerships kept on the record. Each one is published on the marketing site and stays there: this is an index, not a second copy.
Company and funding
The announcements that say what the company is and where it is going: the seed round, institutional deployment, and what the product has done since launch. If you are writing one story about HAQQ, it starts here.
- HAQQ Legal AI Raises $3M to Digitize Justice (2026-02-01)
- HAQQ Partners with ONEIC to Expand Legal AI in Oman (2026-02-09)
- HAQQ Mobile App Reaches 7,500 Downloads Following Global Launch (2026-07-17)
Product updates
Releases and platform milestones. Future Legal AI Chat, Legal AI Twin and eFirm releases land in this group.
- HAQQ launches mobile app bringing Legal AI to everyday legal situations (2026-05-26)
- HAQQ Launches Project Workspaces for Legal Matters (2026-04-28)
- HAQQ Announces the Launch of HAQQ Legal AI Chat (2025-12-12)
Insights and founder POV
Perspective rather than corporate news. Interviews and essays where a founder sets out a position, useful if you want a quote or a point of view rather than a fact.
Community and education
Programmes for students, faculty and professional bodies. These are real and they are not the company's headline news, which is why they sit in their own group.
The student and faculty terms that actually apply are evergreen and live on Students and professors, not in the dated post above.
HAQQ's expansion in Jordan ran through both halves of the profession in the same week: the practising bar through the arbitrators association, and legal education through the university. Two announcements, one market entry.
- HAQQ Partners with the Jordanian Arbitrators Association (2026-02-03)
- HAQQ × Amman Arab University: Legal AI Partnership (2026-02-04)
Earlier partnerships
Kept on the record, deliberately not featured. Each of these was signed and announced, and none has yet been followed by a published deployment, customer outcome or measurable result we can point a journalist at. When one is, it moves up the page.
- HAQQ and Mani Group Sign Strategic Partnership (2026-02-10)
- HAQQ × Highworth: Expanding into Europe (2026-02-19)
- HAQQ Legal Technologies and Tawqi3i Announce Strategic Partnership to Integrate Legal AI and Digital Signatures (2026-03-10)
HAQQ in the field
Long-form appearances, in full. The first is an Arabic podcast on whether AI threatens the practice of law; the second is the English interview on the $3M raise.
