Eudia Acquires Out-House, Deepening AI-Augmented Legal Expertise and Fortune 500 Client Reach
Eudia, the AI platform built for in-house legal teams, has acquired Out-House, the legal services partner founded by former General Counsel Lynden Renwick. The move expands Eudia's footprint across Fortune 500 legal departments and follows a run of momentum this year: a $105M Series A led by General Catalyst in February, the acquisition of Johnson Hana in July, and the September launch of Eudia Counsel.
Out-House works exclusively with Fortune 500 legal departments as an embedded extension of the in-house function. The team delivers scalable support across high-volume commercial contracting and outside counsel management, with measurable gains in speed, cost, quality, and visibility. Eudia and Out-House have already been working side by side for months, integrating the platform into joint engagements. Results were immediate: faster turnaround, greater accuracy, and more consistent outcomes than traditional workflows.
"AI transformed my practice as a lawyer," said Lynden Renwick, Founder and CEO of Out-House. "Over the past two years, I've tested just about every tool-most were built for law firms and retrofitted for in-house, where they fall short. CLM platforms overpromised and underdelivered. Eudia stood out as the only AI-native platform built from the ground up for in-house legal teams. It gave my team a 10x advantage in both speed and quality. We're excited to join the Augmented Intelligence movement and offer clients the best of both worlds: high-quality human experts and best-in-class AI."
"Lynden and the Out-House team are exactly the kind of strategic, customer-obsessed partners we value most," said Omar Haroun, CEO of Eudia. "They've earned a seat at the table with some of the world's most sophisticated legal departments, and their focus on operational outcomes and innovation fits Eudia's mission."
As part of the acquisition, Lynden joins Eudia and will co-lead the expansion of enterprise service lines that pair deep legal expertise with Eudia's differentiated AI technology.
What this means for corporate legal teams
- Shorter cycles, fewer escalations: AI-assisted playbooks and review flows push more deals to closure without bottlenecks.
- Smarter outside counsel management: Better triage, tighter scopes, and improved matter consistency reduce external spend.
- Quality you can measure: Standardized clauses, audit trails, and benchmarkable KPIs improve predictability.
- Operational visibility: Real-time insights into throughput, risk flags, and exception trends.
- Institutional knowledge that sticks: The Company Brain captures playbooks, preferences, and prior decisions so teams don't start from zero.
- Faster onboarding and change adoption: Embedded practitioners plus AI workflows make new processes easier to use and sustain.
How the combined model works
Out-House's embedded practitioners operate as an extension of the in-house team while Eudia's platform handles intake, review, drafting, and routing-grounded in your playbooks and data. The Company Brain is configured for each customer to reflect standards, fallback positions, and risk tolerances. For matters that need external support, Eudia Counsel provides an AI-native law firm model that works hand in hand with the platform.
Why traditional CLM alone fell short
Many legal teams bought CLM expecting speed and adoption, but saw little change in cycle times or decision quality. Tools optimized for law firms rarely map to in-house constraints, workflows, and data needs. Pairing experienced operators with AI built for corporate legal teams closes that gap.
