Legal research
AI legal research for GCC law firms
Search official Arabic and English legal sources in the Qanu library, get answers that cite the provision they rely on, and keep every finding inside the matter your team already shares.
The problem
Why legal research slows GCC matters down
Gulf matters often turn on Arabic legislation while the client, the counterparty, or the file works in English. Research ends up spread across portals, PDFs, and chat windows that know nothing about the matter.
| The problem | Portals, PDFs, and generic chat | Legal research in Qanu |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Portals, PDFs, and generic chat: Laws, circulars, and judicial decisions sit on separate portals and in saved PDFs | Legal research in Qanu: One library of official sources for supported GCC jurisdictions, searched from the workspace |
| Language | Portals, PDFs, and generic chat: Keyword search misses the provision when the question and the text use different words or languages | Legal research in Qanu: Search by intent in Arabic or English; semantic retrieval matches the provision, not just the keyword |
| Citations | Portals, PDFs, and generic chat: Answers arrive without a source, or with one no one can find again | Legal research in Qanu: Every answer cites the law or article it relied on, and the passage opens in one click |
| Matter context | Portals, PDFs, and generic chat: Generic chat knows nothing about the facts or the documents in the file | Legal research in Qanu: Ask about the matter's own documents and the law together, inside the project |
| Hand-off | Portals, PDFs, and generic chat: Findings get pasted into emails and memos, and the source trail is lost | Legal research in Qanu: Carry a cited result into chat, documents, and drafting without leaving the workspace |
How it works
Research grounded in the library
Find the provision, verify it at the source, ask follow-up questions, and carry the result into the draft, all in one workspace.
- Semantic searchArabic or EnglishLaws & decisions
Ask in Arabic or English. Semantic retrieval ranks laws, circulars, and judicial decisions by meaning, even when your wording differs from the text.
Arabic and English
Arabic and English research in one matter
GCC legislation is published in Arabic, while much of the advice, correspondence, and deal work runs in English. Qanu treats both languages as first-class.
Ask in either language
Query the library in Arabic or English. The provision surfaces whether or not your question matches its original wording.
Research stays with the matter
Ask about the documents in a project alongside the law, so answers reflect the facts of the file, not a blank chat.
Cite in the language you advise in
Results keep their source and article reference and show when an English version is available, so you can cite accurately in either language.
Who it's for
For GCC law firms and in-house legal teams
Qanu is for the lawyers who stand behind the research. It is not a consumer Q&A chatbot or a free tool for one-off questions.

FAQ
Legal research AI questions
What is legal research AI?
Legal research AI uses language models to find and explain the law that applies to a question. In Qanu, research is grounded in a library of official sources, and every answer cites the provision it relied on so a lawyer can verify it.
Which jurisdictions does the library cover?
The library covers official sources for supported jurisdictions, including Saudi and UAE legislation, and more jurisdictions are on the roadmap.
Can we research in Arabic and English?
Yes. Ask in either language. Semantic search matches provisions by meaning, so the right article surfaces even when your question is worded differently from the text.
How is the library different from chat?
The library is for finding and verifying a provision. Chat uses those sources, and your matter documents, to answer a question. You can carry a result from one into the other.
Is this a free legal Q&A chatbot?
No. Qanu is a workspace for law firms and in-house legal teams. Research happens inside permissioned matters, and it supports the lawyer's judgment instead of replacing it.
Is our data used to train AI models?
No. Customer content is not used to train foundation models.
