In this episode of The Augmented Intelligence Podcast, Omar Haroun, CEO of Eudia, speaks with Rob Beard, Chief Legal Officer of Coherent and former General Counsel of both Micron and MasterCard. Together, they explore what it takes to build the first truly AI-augmented in-house legal team. 

Rob shares a candid perspective on the inefficiencies that plague modern legal departments, why traditional legal tech—like CLM systems—often underdelivers, and how AI agents are redefining what’s possible inside corporate legal. From M&A due diligence and contract review to strategic risk alignment, this episode showcases real-world use cases and measurable outcomes that prove augmented intelligence isn’t a distant vision—it’s already happening. 

For GCs and legal leaders navigating the AI era, this conversation offers a tactical and philosophical roadmap. It’s about more than productivity—it’s about transforming legal from a reactive cost center into a proactive driver of business value.
