Global law firm White & Case LLP today announced that it has made a strategic investment in Clauze.AI, a new legal AI platform, founded by Waad Alkurini, serving legal and corporate clients in Saudi Arabia and the wider 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,” said Heather McDevitt, Chair of White & Case. “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.”
Clauze.AI is an AI-powered enterprise legal platform 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. Built for Saudi Arabia and the wider region, Clauze.AI offers bilingual capabilities, full data residency in Saudi Arabia and on-premises deployment.
After more than a decade at White & Case, Waad will leave the Firm to focus on Clauze.AI. She has led White & Case’s Riyadh office for the last three years and made a significant contribution to the Firm’s market-leading practice in the Kingdom. She leaves behind an exceptional team, reflecting the care and commitment she has brought in her leadership of the office.
White & Case is the only international law firm with more than a seven-decade track record of supporting Saudi Arabia. The Firm established its on-the-ground presence in the Kingdom in 1989, and currently has around 40 lawyers, including nine partners. The team provides clients with a one-stop-shop across US, English and Saudi law, with comprehensive practice coverage and deep experience advising on complex deals and disputes in the Kingdom and beyond its borders. The Riyadh office is supported by White & Case’s global network of more than 2,600 lawyers across 43 offices in 29 countries.
