What Johnson Hana International does

Johnson Hana International is a Dublin-headquartered alternative legal services provider that was founded in 2015 and has grown to a team of over 300 legal professionals serving Fortune 500 and global enterprise clients including OpenAI, Airbnb, Tinder, LinkedIn, Stripe, Dropbox, Citibank, Coca-Cola, Kellanova, Duracell, and Ryanair. The company deliberately operates as a legal process outsourcing firm rather than a law firm, performing non-advisory legal work such as contract review and lifecycle management, eDiscovery and litigation support, regulatory compliance implementation, data subject access requests, outside counsel management, and compliance programs. This positioning allows Johnson Hana to market a 50%+ reduction in client legal spend versus traditional law firm models while improving process quality and transparency.

The technology stack centers on AI-augmented workflows delivered through the Eudia platform following Johnson Hana's July 2025 acquisition, including AI Legal Playbooks that translate client-specific contracting, compliance, and M&A workflows into automated solutions, alongside market-leading third-party eDiscovery software. The firm supplements this with a global community of flexible consultants and an in-house delivery function led by former Accenture and Big Law operators.

Commercially, Johnson Hana runs a project-based consulting model with engagements typically spanning 6-12 months and 20-40 hours per week, priced via quote-based contracts targeting enterprise legal teams. Distribution is direct enterprise sales into in-house legal departments, supported by content marketing, case studies, and a careers-focused employer brand. Following the 2025 Eudia acquisition, Johnson Hana now operates as the EMEA services arm of a platform-plus-services model that has raised $105M in Series A funding.
