US multinational law firm White & Case has made a strategic investment in Clauze.AI, an AI contract review and due diligence tool for legal and corporate clients in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East region. Clauze.AI was founded by Waad Alkurini after a decade of working at White & Case, most recently as executive partner of the firm’s Riyadh office.
“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.”
