We have advised Eudia, the leading AI platform for Fortune 500 legal teams, on its acquisition of Johnson Hana.
Founded in 2017, Johnson Hana has established itself as Ireland's leading alternative legal services provider, with a client base that includes Citibank, Stripe, Airbnb, X and OpenAI.
Eudia emerged from stealth mode at the beginning of the year after securing US$105 million in Series A funding. The investment round, led by General Catalyst, strategically positions the company for significant growth and innovation in the legal technology sector.
“This acquisition is more than just a deal – it reflects a shared commitment to redefining the future of legal services,” said Omar Haroun, Founder and CEO of Eudia. “Adam Griffiths, Paddy Quinlan, Jack Ryan and the wider Taylor Wessing team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication throughout the process, managing the transaction to a tight timetable and successfully navigating this transatlantic transaction with commercially astute business advice."
Speaking on the acquisition Partner, Adam Griffiths said: "We are delighted to have advised Eudia on this significant transaction. We pride ourselves on managing and executing material cross-border transactions, and it was a pleasure to deliver a successful outcome for Eudia."
