Coherent Corp., a global leader in materials, optics, and photonics technology, has partnered with Eudia, an AI platform purpose-built for in-house legal teams, to build the first fully AI-native legal function. This landmark collaboration leverages Eudia's Sigma, a suite of augmented AI agents, allowing Coherent's internal and external legal teams to operate cohesively on a unified AI-driven platform.
Coherent becomes the first company to unify its entire legal function on Eudia’s AI-native Sigma platform.
The legal "brain" augments commercial operations, intellectual property, litigation, trade compliance, and regulatory enablement.
AI-powered capabilities include instant contract search, automated summaries, AI-assisted drafting/redlining, and advanced due diligence.
Cortex, Eudia’s customizable enterprise AI framework, tailors AI to Coherent’s voice, policies, and processes for scalable growth.
Planned future enhancements include agent-based risk triage, real-time clause comparison, and live co-authoring.
Eudia focuses exclusively on empowering in-house legal teams with unified, strategic AI workflows.
Rob Beard, Chief Legal Officer at Coherent, stated, “We don’t see legal AI as a future trend—we see it 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.”
Unlike law firm–oriented AI tools that focus on isolated legal tasks, Eudia’s platform consolidates institutional knowledge and streamlines workflows to actively amplify legal insights and strategic value enterprise-wide.
Eudia CEO Omar Haroun emphasized, “Coherent is building a Company Brain—an always-on intelligence layer that turns company knowledge into competitive advantage. That’s not just innovation—that’s leadership.”
With Sigma, Coherent's legal team can:
Search contracts, precedent, and past deals instantly using natural language, cutting research time drastically.
Auto-generate summaries and extract key terms to speed up reporting and decision-making at executive levels.
Draft and negotiate documents with AI-enhanced suggestions reflecting company policies.
Collaborate globally with embedded legal translation tools preserving nuance.
Complete due diligence reviews in hours instead of weeks.
The partnership also includes Cortex, an AI framework continuously trained and tuned to adapt to Coherent’s evolving legal environment and priorities.
Eudia and Coherent will co-develop next-generation functionality, including risk triage agents, live co-authoring, automated strategy mapping, and integrations with adjacent business functions like procurement, compliance, and finance, further elevating legal’s role in enterprise strategy.
Eudia enables in-house legal teams with a unified AI platform and access to Eudia Counsel, an AI-native law firm designed to scale expertise, protect institutional knowledge, and reduce dependency on outside counsel. Eudia’s platform encompasses AI-Augmented Contracting, M&A, Cortex, Sigma, and Insights to transform legal functions into strategic business partners. Its customers include DHL, Duracell, Cargill, Intuit, Citibank, Stripe, and the U.S. Government.
