  • HAQQ Legal AI

    Participated · Equity · Feb 2026

    Founded in 2020 by Antoine Kanaan and Maître Abbas Kabalan, HAQQ Legal AI offers an all-in-one platform that fuses AI-native legal intelligence, practice management, payments, and institutional infrastructure. Its proprietary engine, Justinian, generates context-aware and jurisdiction-reliable legal work that the company claims surpasses general-purpose AI models in accuracy and structure. Today the platform serves more than 7,000 clients, underscoring early market traction for its SaaS offering. The firm positions itself as an AI operating system for law firms and in-house teams, aiming to digitize justice while maintaining governance and institutional trust. With fresh capital in hand, HAQQ plans to deepen its Legal AI and agent architecture, broaden enterprise deployments across the MENA region and selected global markets, and bolster security, compliance, and data-residency capabilities. The company will also scale its engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to support expansion. The recent $3 million raise brings additional resources but no prior funding totals were disclosed, leaving its broader financial history unreported.
