Eudia and Coherent Forge Landmark Partnership for AI-Driven Legal Transformation

In a groundbreaking move for the legal sector, Eudia, a pioneering AI platform designed for in-house legal teams, has announced a multi-year partnership with Coherent Corp., a global frontrunner in materials and photonics technology. Together, they aim to create a fully AI-integrated legal function, marking a pivotal transformation in managing legal processes.

This collaboration means Coherent will be the industry’s first entity to unify its entire legal operations through Eudia's latest innovation, Sigma. This advanced suite of augmented AI agents will enable seamless collaboration among Coherent's internal legal team and external partners, streamlining traditional workflows that have often been disjointed.

By employing AI, Coherent plans to significantly enhance various legal tasks including document creation, workflow construction, and the integration of different systems. This initiative is set to evolve Coherent’s legal framework into something referred to as a "legal brain," aimed at boosting efficiency and providing crucial insights for the company’s growth. Under this transformation, key legal areas such as commercial operations, intellectual property, litigation management, trade compliance, and regulatory processes will be redefined for optimal performance.

Rob Beard, Coherent's Chief Legal Officer, emphasizes the strategic importance of integrating AI into their legal functions. He states, "At Coherent, we don’t see legal AI as a future trend—we perceive it as a pressing strategic need. Our collaboration with Eudia signifies a new phase in delivering legal services that are smarter, quicker, and more deeply intertwined with our overall business strategies."

Unlike traditional AI solutions that cater to external law firms and are limited to individual tasks, Eudia’s system consolidates institutional intelligence and implements streamlined workflows across the organization. This shift enables Coherent's in-house teams to retain control over their strategic knowledge rather than outsourcing it to external legal counsel, which significantly amplifies their value across the company.

Omar Haroun, the CEO of Eudia, remarks on the innovative potential of their partnership, stating, "Coherent is demonstrating what a legal function can evolve into when operating on a single cohesive platform. Rather than merely adopting more tools, they're constructing a Company Brain—an intelligence layer that continuously transforms organizational knowledge into a competitive edge."

By having full access to Sigma, Coherent's legal team can expect a myriad of enhancements such as:
  • - Instantaneous searches of contracts and historical deals using natural language, reducing research periods from hours to mere seconds.
  • - Automatic generation of document summaries, extraction of key details, and accelerated reporting processes for executives and board members.
  • - AI-assisted drafting and negotiation of documents, incorporating suggestions that align with the company’s preferred positions.
  • - Facilitated cross-border collaborations through built-in translation capabilities that retain essential legal particulars.
  • - Due diligence checks completed in just a few hours instead of traditional weeks.

The partnership will also leverage Cortex, Eudia's customizable enterprise AI framework tailored to meet Coherent’s specific needs. Through collaboration sessions, Cortex will be developed to resonate with Coherent’s unique voice, policies, and legal operations. This dynamic approach promises a legal environment that not only improves over time but also adapts to evolving business priorities.

In the coming months, Eudia and Coherent plan to introduce additional features that include agent-based risk assessment, real-time comparison of clauses, and live co-authoring, as Coherent transitions into a fully AI-enhanced legal department.

Eudia’s recent expansion in the realm of AI-Augmented Contracting and its onboarding of over 300 embedded legal professionals reflect the company's commitment to modernizing in-house legal operations. Their combined efforts underscore the belief that a harmonized integration of human expertise and machine learning can deliver superior results when compared to traditional, fragmented approaches.

"This is what Eudia was created to accomplish—transformative solutions in high-stakes environments. Ensuring that legal leaders achieve not marginal improvements, but exponential advancements is at the heart of our mission," Haroun adds.

As this partnership unfolds, both Eudia and Coherent are poised to explore next-generation legal capabilities encompassing automated strategic planning and enhanced integration of legal operations with other business functions such as procurement and compliance. The future vision is clear: with the right foundational setup, AI's role in the legal industry stretches far beyond support—it elevates legal teams to be pivotal centers of intelligence and business insight, driving significant impact.
