US legaltech firm Consilio has secured a strategic partnership deal with AI-based legaltech start-up Eudia, consolidating its purpose-built AI agents with Consilio’s decades-long technology expertise.
The partnership will see the two companies co-develop AI tools that will be powered by Eudia’s Expert Digital Twins technology – AI systems that are designed to mimic how experienced lawyers make decisions.
The aim is for the partnership to translate into faster contract and matter cycles, more defensible review, stronger compliance posture and reduced reliance on outside counsel.
Eudia constructs AI tools that behave like legal experts, to help lawyers perform tasks such as contract reviews, answering legal questions, compliance checks and handling routine legal work more swiftly.
Emron Pratt, chief strategy officer at Consilio, said: “Our clients are asking for AI that works reliably at the scale and complexity of enterprise legal operations, not just in a demo.
“Eudia has built that platform. Combining it with the workflow expertise and client relationships Consilio has developed over more than two decades gives general counsel a clear path to measurable, defensible outcomes.”
Omar Haroun, CEO of Eudia, commented that “Consilio has earned the trust of the world’s most demanding legal teams” and has achieved unmatched levels of expertise in how that work is completed.
He added: “By pairing that expertise and those relationships with Eudia’s platform, purpose-built for the accuracy, consistency and scale that enterprise legal work requires, we can deliver unparalleled outcomes together.”
Additionally, the partnership will explore further integrations between Eudia and Consilio’s legal intelligence technology platform, Aurora Legal AI.
Consilio says it employs 5,400 professionals worldwide, and has more than 30,000 active matters on its platform and nearly 100 petabytes of client data under management.
In November last year, it was a joint lead investor along with McDermott Will & Schulte in a $110m financing round for The LegalTech Fund.
California-based Eudia was founded three years ago by a triumvirate of Haroun, chief technology officer Ashish Agrawal and chief operating officer David Van Reyk.
It says that it boasts a client list including ServiceNow, Cargill, Toshiba, Ecolab, Bayer and the US Air Force.
Last month, Eudia entered into a partnership with tech giant OpenAI to aid legal and acquisition teams in the Department of War, among other US federal agencies.
The aim is to enhance efficiency for contracting officers, legal counsel and programme managers by integrating OpenAI’s frontier models into its platform.
In February last year, Eudia secured $105m in a Series A funding round led by venture capitalist firm General Catalyst, which was joined by other investors including Floodgate, Sierra Ventures, Hakluyt Capital, Defy, Everywhere Ventures, B3 Capital, Backbone and Firsthand.
Angel investors Gokul Rajaram, Chris Re, Andrew Sieja, Mike Gamson and Scott Belsky also participated in the financing.
