General Catalyst-Backed Eudia Makes Big Move in $75M Acquisition Strategy Starting with Johnson Hana
Eudia provides AI-driven solutions tailored for legal departments, enhancing efficiency and security through advanced automation and data analysis tools.
Legal tech startup Eudia is rewriting the M&A playbook—and the rules of corporate legal work—one acquisition at a time. Co-founded and led by CEO Omar Haroun, Eudia just announced its first acquisition: Johnson Hana, Ireland’s fastest-growing alternative legal services provider. The deal marks a major step in the company’s mission to create an “augmented intelligence” legal workforce, blending human expertise with AI-powered efficiency.
“We’re not trying to replace lawyers,” Haroun told Business Insider. “We’re building a third path: true augmented intelligence.”
From Stealth to Strategic Acquirer
Eudia only emerged from stealth in February 2025, but its momentum has been anything but quiet. Backed by $105 million in Series A funding from General Catalyst, the company was built to scale fast—with a twist. Just $30 million was released upfront, with the remaining $75 million earmarked specifically for acquisitions.
Now Eudia is putting that capital to work. The purchase of Johnson Hana—whose clients include Airbnb, Stripe, X, and Citibank—adds over 300 elite legal professionals to Eudia’s ranks. Together, they’ll deliver complex legal services that go beyond AI automation alone.
Inside the Platform: Legal Brains and Custom Agents
Eudia’s platform is designed to help in-house legal teams do more with less. It builds a centralized “legal brain” by ingesting a company’s existing contracts, policies, precedents, and billing data. From there, Eudia’s custom AI agents handle tasks like contract redlining and compliance reviews—autonomously and at scale.
But not everything can (or should) be automated. With Johnson Hana onboard, Eudia now offers human-in-the-loop support for nuanced legal issues that still need a lawyer’s touch.
A New Model for Legal Services
This acquisition isn’t just about adding headcount. It’s about proving that humans + AI beats humans or AI alone. Eudia’s growing network of “AI-augmented” professionals offers clients a credible alternative to Big Law—at a fraction of the cost.
Dan Fox, cofounder and CEO of Johnson Hana, put it simply: “This is a business model that looks to make lawyers better.”
Eudia is expected to announce more details on the integration—and brand strategy—at its upcoming Augmented Intelligence Summit in September.
The Augmented Era Begins
With $10 million in annual recurring revenue already and a target of $20 million by year’s end, Eudia is scaling fast. And if Haroun and General Catalyst have their way, Johnson Hana is just the first of many puzzle pieces.
“Today marks a new day for the legal industry,” Haroun wrote on LinkedIn. “This is just the beginning.”
