Johnson Hana was founded in 2017 by former barrister Dan Fox and now counts Citibank, Stripe, Airbnb, X and OpenAI among its clients.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed but The Currency reported that the transaction was worth $50 million.

Mr Fox, co-founder and CEO of Johnson Hana, said the acquisition would create “the world’s first generative AI-powered legal platform — a true end-to-end solution for corporate law departments”.

Omar Haroun, co-founder and CEO at Eudia, added: “Johnson Hana represents something extraordinarily rare — elite legal talent with proven managed services expertise at a global scale.

“By fusing their elite talent base and managed services expertise with Eudia’s AI platform, we’re building an entirely new category of legal delivery where human expertise and artificial intelligence operate as a unified system.”

Taylor Wessing advised Eudia on the transaction, while Matheson advised Johnson Hana.

The Taylor Wessing team was led by partner Adam Griffiths and Paddy Quinlan, alongside corporate associate Jack Ryan.

They were assisted by IP, regulatory and digital lawyers Jo Joyce and Karl Cullinane, tax lawyers Trish McCarvill and Madalina Budau, banking and finance lawyers Libby Garvey and Laura Borhan, and real estate lawyers Órlaith Molloy and Bríd Kenny.

Commenting on the deal, Mr 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.”

The Matheson team was led by Brian McCloskey, Dan McAleese, Kevin Lavin, Nicola McAleese and Stephanie Ryan.

Mr McCloskey said: “We were delighted to work with the Johnson Hana team again and to support them on this transaction.

“We congratulate the team on reaching this significant milestone and look forward to seeing the continued growth of the business under the ownership of Eudia”.
