Counselor Zayed Saeed Al Shamsi stated in remarks to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) that artificial intelligence has become an essential necessity and tool for any professional, noting the importance of fast access to information and legal research tools for lawyers.

He explained that the agreement paves the way for launching a specialized legal AI platform focused on UAE laws and rulings, with the inclusion of comparative legislation, enhancing the accuracy of legal research and reflecting the specificity of the country’s legal system.

For his part, Counselor Rani Sader said that “Laitron” has extensive experience in legal publishing and the development of specialized legal databases, noting that the new platform will provide a comprehensive legal knowledge base covering legislation, judicial precedents, and legal opinions in the UAE.
