BARBRI announced the acquisition of Lega, a platform that helps law students, legal professionals, and law firms develop real-world artificial intelligence fluency through practical, build-as-you-learn experiences.
The acquisition expands BARBRI’s AI and skills learning portfolio with Lega’s experiential AI learning model. The companies said the deal gives law students, lawyers, and law firms a practical path to AI fluency and professional development.
BARBRI said the legal industry is undergoing major change and that the profession needs more than exposure to new tools. The company said legal professionals need practical ways to build the judgment, confidence, and fluency required to use AI effectively.
The acquisition marks BARBRI’s next step in AI, moving legal education and the profession from discussing AI to engaging with it through trusted content, learning design, and data-driven development.
Since its founding in 2023, Lega has provided a generative AI lab for experimentation and app creation to law firms and delivered hands-on AI workshops for Am Law 100 firms, legal technology conferences, and innovation summits. A case study of Lega’s 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.
Looking ahead, BARBRI and Lega 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. The companies said this approach will create a bridge between legal education and legal practice built around shared AI competency.
Lega’s capabilities will be integrated across BARBRI’s product suite to create a unified learning experience. Christian Lang, Founder and CEO of Lega, will join BARBRI as Head of Innovation, overseeing AI skill development and readiness strategy for students and partners. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
