BARBRI Acquires Lega to Boost Legal AI Training

BARBRI acquired Brooklyn-based Lega on June 22, 2026, to expand hands-on AI training for law students and legal professionals worldwide.

Legal education has long focused on theory. The acquisition signals a concrete shift toward practical AI competency, an area where law firms and schools have struggled to move beyond awareness into applied skill-building.

The Deal

BARBRI, a Dallas-based legal education company with nearly 60 years of experience in the field, has acquired Lega, an AI learning platform founded in 2023. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Lega has delivered hands-on AI workshops for Am Law 100 firms, legal technology conferences, and innovation summits. The Am Law 100 refers to the 100 largest law firms in the United States, ranked by their gross revenue. Lega also operates a generative AI lab used by some of the world's leading law firms for experimentation and application development.

What Lega Brings

Lega's model centers on experiential learning through workshops, simulations, hackathons, and lab-style programs. These are designed to help legal professionals build working knowledge of AI rather than simply learn about it.
