"Eudia, a Palo Alto-based AI startup, is offering something entirely new: the world's first AI-augmented law firm. Its end goal is nothing less than the death of the billable hour that, according to CEO Omar Haroun, has run entirely out of control. "Most legal departments have lost control of their budgets and their knowledge," Haroun said in a press release announcing the launch of Eudia Counsel, which he called "the first AI-native law firm.""
"The company is also expanding its access-to-justice initiative, AI for Good, with Haroun telling Fortune that the economics of AI can transform pro bono work, which he sees as "the reason people like me went to law school" in the first place. Haroun acquired a law degree at Columbia Law School before a career in consulting, tech and AI that saw him sell another company, Text IQ, to Relativity in 2021."
Eudia is a Palo Alto-based AI startup offering the world's first AI-augmented law firm. The venture targets elimination of the billable hour and loss of budget and knowledge control in legal departments. Omar Haroun serves as CEO. Eudia is structured under Arizona's Alternative Business Structure program as a provider of a law firm rather than a traditional law firm. The firm expands an access-to-justice initiative called AI for Good to scale pro bono work using AI economics. Haroun holds a law degree from Columbia Law School and previously sold Text IQ to Relativity in 2021. DHL is among its early Fortune 500 clients.
