The Research Incumbents: FAQ
Are the incumbents' AI tools good?
Their research is world-class and the AI is improving. But it sits on a legacy database, is bundled and quote-priced, and is built for US/UK law in English with no on-premise option.
How is HAQQ different from Westlaw or Bloomberg Law?
HAQQ is AI-native rather than AI-bolted-on, runs in Arabic across MENA and emerging markets, enforces jurisdiction, publishes pricing, and adds the full practice layer the incumbents lack.
Can I buy the incumbents' AI without the database?
Often no — CoCounsel, for instance, is bundled with Westlaw. HAQQ is sold standalone with transparent pricing.
