Overview
Arabic-first precedent and regulatory-lookup assistant grounded in 380 Saudi Commercial Court judgments, Vision 2030 regulatory circulars, and SAMA guidelines. Case-research time drops from 3 hours to 18 minutes; junior-associate billable utilisation rises 31%.
The challenge
Saudi commercial litigation has accelerated dramatically since the 2021 Commercial Court reforms, producing a flood of new precedents that junior associates struggled to track alongside existing SAMA and Capital Market Authority circulars. Partners reported that associates were spending up to 60% of their time on research rather than drafting, squeezing firm profitability. All source material is in formal Arabic, making off-the-shelf English-first RAG tools unsuitable.
The solution
Lirevon built a custom Arabic chunking and embedding pipeline that preserves the structural integrity of judicial citations including court division, case number, and hijri date. A hybrid BM25 + dense-vector retrieval stack ensures both exact statute references and semantic queries return high-precision results. Every answer surfaces a citation panel linking to the source judgment PDF, enabling partners to verify before relying in court submissions.
Outcomes
Case research time reduced from 3 hours to 18 minutes per matter, freeing 2.4 billable hours per associate per day
Junior-associate billable utilisation rose by 31 percentage points within the first quarter post-launch
Zero hallucinated case citations reported across 1,200 queries in the first three months
Partner review time on associate research memos fell from 45 minutes to 9 minutes per memo

Client testimonial
“The citation panel changed how we work. Associates can draft an entire memo with sourced references in the time it used to take just to find the relevant judgments.”
