Graystone Strategy inks strategic partnership with Haast to drive its AI compliance solutions in the UK market
NEWS: 21 May 2026, Newbury: Graystone Strategy, a leader in consulting and growth strategy, and Haast, the AI-driven compliance platform, have agreed a strategic partnership to support Haast’s strategy to drive adoption of its AI solutions in the UK. The move follows a total of $17.05m funding in just three rounds, and saw a 4.5x revenue growth over a 12 month period.
Haast’s fast gaining traction because its AI powered compliance platform alerts companies to risk of legal breaches and compliance bottlenecks when completing business tasks such as preparing and agreeing contracts, through to developing content and marketing campaigns. It’s designed to be multi-language and work across highly regulated industries including telecoms, utilities, pharma and finance.
This disruptive approach to using AI for compliance has helped it win numerous Fortune 500 companies and international brands including Telstra, Aviva, and Zurich.
Building a channel partnership pipeline
Under the terms of the partnership, James Gray, managing director of Graystone Strategy, and Paul Jefferies, associate client director, will use their global expertise in go-to-market strategy and segmentation in the telecoms industry and parallel sectors to help Haast expand into the fixed and mobile sector, and related industries such as utilities and mobile phone insurance.
“We’re excited to be working with Haast, which is fast becoming the leader in AI compliance management in complex, regulated sectors. Haast’s growth trajectory shows a strong appetite among business leaders to use its platform to transform how they operate,” said James Gray, managing director of Graystone Strategy.
“Haast’s innovative platform is designed to provide an extra pair of hands for in-house legal teams, accelerating the parts of the compliance process that slow them down. The result is a legal function that can move at the pace of the business – without compromising on regulatory commitments.”
Paul Jefferies, associate client director at Graystone Strategy, explains why telecoms is a prime candidate for distribution: “Our goal is to help Haast build partnerships in the telco market. Telecoms is a prime example of a fast-paced, complex and regulated industry that must constantly find ways to unlock more efficiency and stay ahead of the competition.”
“We think Haast will give telcos the capability to do more in less time, and will be especially useful for organisations that can’t afford more legal resources, despite recognising its value to their business,” Paul concludes.
Haast’s platform offers UK businesses an efficient, scalable way to ensure that compliance doesn’t hinder growth, as Wessel Van Keulen, Founding AE Europe at Haast explains: “Our platform can support legal processes in every facet of a business and cuts compliance review time by 80%. We’ve proven you can increase an existing team’s capability using AI and as a result, grow the business without putting compliance at risk.”
“That’s why we are excited to work with Graystone Strategy to expand our reach in the UK,” Wessel adds. “The team’s deep understanding of the regulatory landscape and its expertise in go to market strategy will be invaluable as we scale our business growth and bring the benefits of AI-driven compliance to a wider telco audience.”
