UAE MoJ Virtual Lawyer vs HAQQ
A ministry can answer the public's question for free. It does not run your firm.
11/15 features where HAQQ leads
The Bottom Line
The UAE Ministry of Justice's Smart Justice work is exactly the kind of initiative that should exist: free, court-connected legal guidance for the public, from the institution with the most authoritative view of UAE procedure. It is not a competitor to a law firm's software and we would not position it as one. It answers a citizen's question. It does not draft the pleading, run the matter, or bill the client. HAQQ is what the firm uses for that, and it is complementary to a stronger public justice system, not opposed to it.
Different jobs entirely
Public legal information widens access to justice. HAQQ is professional tooling for the firms that take the resulting work: drafting, review, research, matters and billing.
Court-connected is a real advantage
No private product can match a ministry's connection to court process. HAQQ complements it by handling the professional work around a matter across 200+ countries.
Free, and that is fine
HAQQ also starts free with 16 free legal tools. A firm pays for the practice layer, which a public service is not trying to provide.

HAQQFrequently Asked Questions
Does the UAE Ministry of Justice offer an AI lawyer?
The Ministry has pursued AI-assisted public legal guidance as part of its Smart Justice programme. It is aimed at public access rather than at running a law firm, which is what HAQQ does.
Should a UAE firm use it instead of legal software?
They serve different purposes. Public guidance helps a citizen understand a process; a firm still needs drafting, review, research, matter management and billing, which is what HAQQ provides.
Is HAQQ compliant with UAE requirements?
HAQQ is built MENA-first for UAE law in native Arabic with full RTL, holds ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and SOC 2, and offers on-premise deployment where data residency is required.
