The Next Chapter of Human-AI Collaboration in Legal Has Begun
The Next Chapter of Human-AI Collaboration in Legal Has Begun
Omar Haroun, Co-Founder & CEO, Eudia
Over the past 18 months, my team and I have conducted an extensive evaluation of the legal landscape. We’ve met with over one hundred acquisition targets worldwide. Throughout this process, we’ve been guided by a fundamental conviction: that humans augmented by AI will always beat humans or AI working alone.
Today marks a pivotal moment in that journey.
The Convergence of Vision and Capability
While the industry continues to debate whether artificial intelligence will replace legal professionals, we have been quietly architecting a fundamentally different approach. Not replacement. Not mere assistance. True augmentation.
The legal profession stands at an unprecedented inflection point. For decades, Chief Legal Officers have navigated an impossible paradox: the need to operate at the speed of business while maintaining the highest standards of legal rigor. The status quo has forced a choice between speed and quality, between efficiency and expertise.
That paradigm ends today.
Introducing Our Strategic Partnership with Johnson Hana
Today, I am proud to announce that Eudia has acquired Johnson Hana, Europe’s premier and fastest-growing legal services firm.
This acquisition represents far more than a business transaction; it embodies our shared vision for the future of legal.
What makes Johnson Hana exceptional:
Founded by Dan Fox, a former Barrister, Johnson Hana has built something rare in the legal services market—a firm that combines the highest caliber of legal expertise with an unwavering commitment to client success and technology. Their team of over 300 elite legal consultants, trained in common law heritage, operates seamlessly across UK, US, and EU legal systems.
Johnson Hana has pioneered innovations in managed legal services, contracting solutions, data privacy, and litigation, as well as a widely regarded secondment model: placing expert lawyers as dedicated, fractional members of in-house legal teams. This approach provides the expertise of top-tier legal professionals without the overhead and misaligned incentives associated with traditional law firm relationships.
Their client roster speaks to this distinction: Citibank, Stripe, Airbnb, X, and OpenAI are companies that demand nothing less than excellence and have found in Johnson Hana true extensions of their legal teams.
Most remarkably, Johnson Hana maintains a client retention rate exceeding 90%—a testament to their model’s effectiveness in an industry notorious for vendor churn.
The Foundation of Something Unprecedented
This acquisition represents the first concrete manifestation of our augmented intelligence thesis. Johnson Hana’s team will not merely use AI tools—they will become human-AI partners, capable of delivering services that were previously impossible.
Through our technology platform, these legal experts will build customized Company Brains for each customer—systems that capture institutional knowledge, learn from every interaction, and expertise over time. The result transforms legal spend from an operational expense into a strategic investment in AI transformation.
“Eudia has met with hundreds of the world’s leading legal services companies, and we’re extremely excited about how this marks the beginning of a new chapter for the industry,” said Marc Bhargava, Partner at General Catalyst and Eudia investor. “This is just the start of a fundamental transformation in how legal work gets done. We look forward to many more such announcements in the future.”
A Preview of What’s Possible
What we are announcing today is merely the beginning of a much larger transformation. The Johnson Hana acquisition is the first step in our mission to fundamentally restructure how legal services are delivered, consumed, and valued.
We are not seeking incremental improvements to existing processes. We are building an entirely new category of human-AI collaboration —one where human expertise and artificial intelligence operate as a unified system, where institutional knowledge compounds rather than dissipates, and where legal departments can truly operate as strategic business partners.
The Road Ahead
This September, we will be hosting our exclusive Augmented Intelligence Summit, bringing together a group of the most visionary Chief Legal Officers from Fortune 500 companies. This gathering will reveal the complete scope of our vision and demonstrate the transformative potential of truly augmented legal services.
The Augmented Intelligence Summit represents more than a product unveiling; it marks the moment when the legal profession’s most forward-thinking leaders will glimpse the future of their industry and understand their role in shaping it.
For those ready to move beyond the limitations of traditional legal service delivery, this is your invitation to be part of something transformative.
The augmented intelligence era of legal services has begun. The question is not whether this transformation will occur, but whether you will lead it or be shaped by it.
The next chapter of legal services starts now.
