BARBRI, a leading Dallas-based provider of tech-based legal education, has acquired Lega, a platform that helps law students, legal professionals, and law firms develop real-world AI fluency through practical, learn-as-you-go experiences.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because of the explosion in the use of artificial intelligence throughout society, the legal industry is undergoing seismic change, and the profession needs ways to build the judgment, confidence, and fluency to use AI effectively, BARBRI said.<\/p>\n

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

The acquisition represents BARBRI\u2019s next step in AI, the company said, moving legal education and the profession from talking about AI to fully engaging with it, based on the trusted content, learning design, and data-driven development that have helped generations of lawyers succeed.<\/p>\n

BARBRI Co-CEO Lucie Allen said her company \u201chas been building the AI knowledge and competency foundation for the legal profession through SkillBurst and BARBRI AI courses, alongside broader professional education offerings such as BARBRI CLE\/CPE and Prep for Practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLega brings a highly practical model that helps learners move from AI awareness to AI fluency,\u201d Allen added in a statement. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re committed to equipping law schools, law firms, and legal professionals for an AI-driven profession.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2024, BARBRI acquired SkillBurst Interactive<\/a>, <\/strong>a Maryland-based digital learning innovator for law firms and their clients that also operated an office in London, England.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boosting AI competency throughout legal profession<\/p>\n

Since its founding in 2023, Brooklyn, New York-based Lega has offered a generative AI lab for experimentation and app creation to leading law firms and hands-on AI workshops for Am Law 100 firms, legal technology conferences, and innovation summits. A case study of Lega\u2019s Client AI Lab with Fasken, in which firm lawyers and client legal leaders worked together on practical AI use cases, won the Most Inspiring Showcase Audience Award at the 2026 Skills Law Showcase.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe built Lega around a simple belief: legal professionals need safe, practical, hands-on ways to explore what AI makes possible,\u201d Lega Founder and CEO Christian Lang said in a statement. \u201cThrough our work with firms, schools, and legal teams, we\u2019ve learned that success isn\u2019t about finding the right AI tool. It\u2019s about building the fluency, judgment, and confidence to use AI effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lang said joining BARBRI \u201cmeans we can bring experiential AI learning to every law school, every firm, and every professional ready to lead what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now joining efforts, BARBRI and Lega said they plan to expand experiential AI workshops, simulations, hackathons, and lab-style learning experiences that bring law firm practitioners and law students together around real legal challenges, creating a direct pathway between legal education and legal practice to bolster AI competency throughout the profession.<\/p>\n

Lega\u2019s capabilities will be integrated across BARBRI\u2019s product suite to deliver a comprehensive learning experience. Combined with BARBRI\u2019s global footprint and position across the legal education and professional development continuum, Lega\u2019s experiential learning model can now be scaled to law students, lawyers, law firms, and legal organizations worldwide.<\/p>\n

Christian Lang will join BARBRI as nead of innovation, overseeing AI skill development and readiness strategy for students and partners.<\/p>\n
