HAQQ Legal AI raises $3M

Lebanon-based legaltech startup HAQQ Legal AI has raised a total of $3 million to date , as it looks to scale its legal AI and practice management platform beyond the local market.  The company describes its product as an AI “operating system” for the legal industry—combining legal workflows with tools for drafting, review, and law-firm operations. In its announcement, HAQQ said the new capital will be used to accelerate product development and support broader rollout across the region and internationally.  The round was led by Sowlutions Ventures , with participation reported from investors including HITEK Ventures and a group of strategic and financial backers.  HAQQ has positioned the raise as a signal of growing investor appetite for AI tooling in regulated industries , where automation can reduce turnaround time and standardize document-heavy workflows—especially in legal and compliance functions that are still fragmented across many markets. The startup was launched by Antoine Kanaan and Abbas Qabalan , and has been building what it calls a jurisdiction-aware system designed to support legal execution and operations.  Why it matters: For Lebanon’s startup ecosystem, funding announcements of this size remain relatively uncommon, and HAQQ’s raise adds to a wider regional push toward applied AI—particularly in legal, compliance, and document automation.
