AI Training for Law Firms and Legal Teams
Training one enthusiast does not change a firm. The programs below are the ones in our directory that are designed, or priced, for groups: cohort courses with group discounts, free certifications you can roll out firm-wide, and in-person programs that accept delegations.
A common pattern for firms of 10 to 200 lawyers is a free foundation (Clio or Harvey certification for everyone), a live hands-on cohort for the lawyers who will lead adoption (the AI Lab for Lawyers offers 25% off for ten or more seats and bespoke in-house sessions), and one governance credential for the partner or GC who owns the AI policy.
