Palo Alto, CA – September 18, 2025 – In a move poised to redefine in-house legal operations, Coherent Corp., a global leader in materials, optics, and photonics, has announced a multi-year partnership with Eudia, the AI platform specifically designed for in-house legal teams. This collaboration will result in the creation of a fully AI-native legal function, marking a meaningful leap beyond simply using AI tools to fundamentally building a legal “brain” powered by machine intelligence and human expertise.
Coherent is the first company to unify its entire legal function through Eudia’s newly released sigma suite of augmented AI agents. This integration will empower both in-house and external legal teams to operate on a single,unified platform,driving efficiency and unlocking strategic insights.
From Reactive support to Proactive Leadership
The partnership aims to transform key legal domains within Coherent, including commercial operations, intellectual property, litigation, trade compliance, and regulatory enablement. According to Rob Beard, Chief Legal Officer of Coherent, the company views legal AI not as a future possibility, but as a “present strategic imperative.”
“our partnership with Eudia represents the next phase in how legal services are delivered: smarter, faster, and deeply embedded in the business itself,” Beard stated. “Eudia’s exclusive focus on in-house teams-and its ability to integrate company knowledge into a unified platform-made it the clear choice to help us move from reactive support to proactive leadership.”
The Rise of the “Company Brain”
Unlike many AI tools geared towards individual legal tasks and frequently enough utilized by law firms, Eudia offers a complete, AI-native system. This system is designed to capture and leverage institutional knowledge, streamline workflows, and deliver actionable legal insights across the entire enterprise.
“Coherent is showing the entire industry what a legal function can become when it’s built on one unified platform,” said Omar Haroun, CEO of Eudia. “They’re not plugging in another tool-they’re building a Company Brain: an always-on intelligence layer that turns company knowledge into competitive advantage. That’s not just innovation-that’s leadership.”

The integration of Eudia’s Sigma suite will provide Coherent’s legal team with a powerful array of capabilities, including:
* instant Research: Rapidly search contracts, precedents, and past deals using natural language processing, reducing research time from hours to seconds.

Customization and Scalability with Cortex
Beyond Sigma, the partnership will also leverage Eudia’s Cortex, a customizable enterprise AI framework.Through collaborative design sprints, Cortex will be specifically trained and tuned to reflect Coherent’s unique voice, policies, and legal processes, ensuring a continuously improving and scalable legal knowledge environment.
Looking ahead, Coherent plans to roll out additional capabilities, including agent-based risk triage, real-time clause comparison, and live co-authoring, further solidifying its position as a leader in AI-augmented legal operations.
