HAQQ Legal AI Secures $3M to Scale AI-Powered Legal Operating System Globally
Lebanon-based legal technology firm HAQQ Legal AI has successfully secured $3 million in funding to accelerate the development and global expansion of its artificial intelligence-powered legal operating system. The investment round was led by Sowlutions Ventures, with participation from HITEK Ventures, Corona Legal, IM FNDNG, Highworth, Razor Capital, SYMAX, and Hamady Trust, alongside strategic partners.
The newly raised capital will be allocated to enhancing the platform’s AI capabilities and expanding its institutional services across the MENA region and selected global markets, supporting the company’s mission to modernize legal infrastructure.
Transforming a Trillion-Dollar Industry
The global legal sector, valued at over $1 trillion, has historically lagged in digital transformation, relying heavily on fragmented tools and manual processes. HAQQ Legal AI addresses these inefficiencies by providing a foundational infrastructure purpose-built for modern legal workflows.
Founded in 2020 by Antoine Kanaan and Abbas Kabalan, the company has developed a vertically integrated legal operating system that unifies AI-powered legal intelligence, law firm management systems, secure payments, and institutional infrastructure within a single platform.
An Advanced AI-Powered Legal Engine
At the core of the platform is Justinian®, HAQQ’s proprietary Legal AI engine designed to deliver client-ready legal output from a single prompt. Built on structured legal ontologies and firm-specific digital twins, Justinian® offers context-aware, jurisdiction-specific, and enterprise-grade results, surpassing the limitations of general-purpose AI models.
The platform currently serves more than 7,000 clients, including law firms, enterprise legal teams, courts, public institutions, private organizations, and individuals, across several countries, including Egypt and Jordan, according to the company’s statement.
Strategic Investment for Regional and Global Growth
Commenting on the round, Antoine Kanaan, Co-founder and CEO of HAQQ Legal AI, emphasized that true Legal AI extends beyond chat-based tools, requiring sophisticated systems capable of modeling real-world legal and enterprise decision-making.
Meanwhile, Chief Legal Officer Maître Abbas Kabalan noted that the platform is designed to augment legal professionals rather than replace them, by automating repetitive tasks and enabling lawyers to focus on strategic and high-value work.
With this investment, HAQQ Legal AI continues to position itself as a foundational layer in the global legal technology ecosystem, aiming to digitize justice while maintaining trust, governance, and legal integrity.
