The good databases are paywalled
Westlaw and LexisNexis licenses run into five figures, and solo and boutique firms often cannot justify them.

HAQQ FOR RESEARCH
Research in seconds not hours
A partner needs an answer on whether a non-compete holds up across three jurisdictions by end of day. HAQQ reads the statutes and case law, synthesizes a cited answer, and flags where the authority is thin.

The bottleneck
Why research still eats the day
General chatbots invent citations
Ask a consumer AI for a case and it will confidently cite one that does not exist. In legal work that is a malpractice risk, not a quirk.
Every jurisdiction is a fresh start
A cross-border question means re-learning three legal systems before you can even begin to answer.
Synthesis is the slow part
Finding the sources is half the job; reconciling them into a defensible position is where the hours go.
Arabic and local sources are underserved
Most tools were trained on US and UK law and go quiet the moment a question touches MENA statutes.
What HAQQ does about it
How HAQQ runs legal research
Reads the sources for you
HAQQ retrieves statutes, case law and regulation, then synthesizes a direct answer instead of a link dump.
Every claim is cited and openable
Each point links to the authority it rests on, so you verify in seconds rather than trust blindly.
Built to resist hallucination
On our independent 50-task benchmark HAQQ scores 43/50 on legal research — within three points of LexisNexis (46) and ahead of Harvey (32) and CoCounsel (40).
Multi-jurisdiction by default
Ask one question across several legal systems and get a comparative answer, including civil-law and Sharia-influenced jurisdictions.
Arabic-first, not Arabic-added
HAQQ reasons in Arabic natively and covers MENA sources most Western tools skip.

How research works with HAQQ

Open the underlying statute or case to confirm it yourself before you rely on it.

AI Contract Drafting
A client wants a services agreement drafted by tomorrow, governed by UAE law. HAQQ generates a complete first draft from a plain-language brief — every clause grounded in the governing law — so you edit instead of starting from a blank page.

AI Due Diligence
A data room with thousands of documents and a signing date two weeks out. HAQQ reads every contract, extracts the deal-moving terms — change of control, assignment, indemnity caps — and surfaces the risks in hours, not weeks.
FAQ
Does HAQQ cite real sources?
Yes. Every answer links to the statutes, cases or regulations it relies on, and HAQQ is built to flag uncertainty rather than fabricate a citation.
Which jurisdictions does it cover?
HAQQ researches across common-law, civil-law and Sharia-influenced systems, with particular depth in MENA jurisdictions and Arabic-language sources.
How reliable is it versus a research database?
On the legal-research task in our independent 50-task benchmark HAQQ scored 43/50, within three points of LexisNexis (46) and ahead of Harvey (32), CoCounsel (40) and Legora (27) — while costing a fraction of a Westlaw seat.
What is the best AI for legal research in the Middle East?
HAQQ is designed Arabic-first and covers local statutes and case law that US- and UK-trained tools miss, making it a strong fit for firms researching MENA law in Arabic or English.
How does HAQQ compare to Harvey or CoCounsel for research?
In our benchmark HAQQ (43/50) edged CoCounsel (40) and clearly beat Harvey (32) on research, and unlike either it ships alongside drafting, review and practice management in one platform.
