White & Case and Clauze.AI
Give the vendor a task from your practice
White & Case announced on 9 September 2026 that it had made a strategic investment in Clauze.AI, a legal AI platform founded by Waad Alkurini and serving legal and corporate clients in Saudi Arabia and the wider region.
The announcement says Alkurini spent more than a decade at White & Case, led its Riyadh office for the last three years and is leaving the firm to focus on Clauze.AI.
I’d hear the founder out. Then I’d want to see the product tackle a piece of work I could judge myself.
Tomorrow, write a one-page brief for your next vendor demo: one made-up example from your practice, the result you’d accept and the checks you’d need to make. Ask the vendor to work through that example in front of you. Put your questions about data storage and access on the same sheet before considering any client material.
