Clauze.AI is purpose-built for Arabic-speaking markets — with full data residency in Saudi Arabia, bilingual AI capabilities, and on-premise deployment
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA, September 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Clauze.AI, a new enterprise legal AI platform serving legal and corporate clients in Saudi Arabia and the wider region, today announced its launch alongside a
strategic investment from White & Case LLP, one of the world’s leading global law firms. The company was founded by Waad Alkurini, former head of White & Case’s Riyadh office.Clauze.AI is designed to understand and apply a company’s legal knowledge to help teams review contracts, manage governance, conduct due diligence, identify risks and obligations, and make better-informed legal decisions. Unlike general-purpose legal AI tools built for Western legal systems, Clauze.AI was built from the ground up for the legal, linguistic, and regulatory requirements of Saudi Arabia and the region: bilingual Arabic and English capabilities, full data residency in Saudi Arabia, and on-premises deployment for enterprise clients with data sovereignty requirements.
“Legal teams in the region have been underserved by AI tools designed for different legal systems and different languages. Clauze.AI is built specifically for the way legal work is done here — in Arabic and English, inside complex regulatory frameworks, with data that cannot leave the Kingdom. The investment from White & Case reflects not just confidence in the platform, but a shared conviction that the future of legal services in this region will be built on AI that truly understands it.”said Waad Alkurini, Founder & CEO, Clauze.AI.
The announcement marks White & Case’s first investment in a Middle East-based technology company. The strategic investment reflects the firm’s long-term commitment to the Kingdom, where it has operated continuously since 1989, and its belief that AI will fundamentally reshape the delivery of legal services in the region.
“AI is reshaping the delivery of legal services and being at the forefront of this change is important to us in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where we have a long history and deep commitment. Our investment in Clauze.AI builds on that commitment, and reflects the opportunities created by the Kingdom’s continued focus on digital transformation and innovation under Saudi Vision 2030.”said Heather McDevitt, Chair, White & Case
Saudi Arabia’s legal and corporate sectors are navigating an increasingly complex regulatory environment as Vision 2030 accelerates economic transformation across every industry. Clauze.AI’s platform is designed to help in-house legal teams and law firms in the Kingdom manage that complexity at scale — reducing the time spent on contract review, due diligence, and governance tracking while improving the quality and consistency of legal decision-making.
The platform’s bilingual capability is a foundational design principle, not a feature. Arabic-language legal analysis, document review in both Arabic and English simultaneously, and compliance with Saudi data residency requirements are built into the architecture from inception.
