The Legal AI Buildathon.
Built for the legal profession. A weekend where you don’t pick one legal AI tool to build: you leave with all of it: your own private legal AI workspace, a regulatory monitoring dashboard, a compliance tool, drafting, review and research agents, and more. Built on sample documents, with confidentiality designed in.

What you’ll build
Everything you’ll build. All of it.
This isn’t pick-and-choose. Every build below is part of the Buildathon: you get a working starter, a live walkthrough and ready-to-use templates for all of them, then spend your studio time going deep on the two or three your practice needs most. Everything is built on sample and synthetic documents: no client data, ever.
Every build on this page is included in every pass, nothing on this list is locked behind a bigger ticket. Go deep on whichever ones you want in your studio slot.

EdgeBefore was founded by practising lawyers and technologists with experience in data privacy, AI governance, tech policy, trust & safety and corporate governance. We started it to make AI practical and responsible, and we teach with the risks in view. EdgeBefore is an education company: it does not offer legal services, and nothing we publish or teach is legal advice or creates a lawyer-client relationship.

- Trust & safety · tech policy
- Corporate governance & compliance
Legal-tech mentors for the build studios will be named on this page before the event.
Questions
Before you enrol.
Wait: I actually get all 18 builds, not just one?
Yes. Every build on this page is included in every pass. You get a working starter, a live walkthrough and ready-to-use templates for all of them during the two days. Studio time on Day 2 is where you go hands-on deep with a mentor on the two or three your practice needs most.
Do I need to code?
No. You’ll direct AI tools in plain English and learn to review and correct what they produce. No programming background is needed.
Will I use client data?
Never. Everything is built on sample and synthetic documents. Part of the weekend is learning how to protect confidentiality and privilege when you adopt AI in real practice.
Is this Indian law only?
Examples lean toward India (DPDP Act, IT Act, SEBI, RBI, MeitY) with global coverage for GDPR and the EU AI Act. The tools you build adapt to any jurisdiction.
Is this legal advice, or legal-ethics guidance?
No. The Legal AI Buildathon is education only. Nothing here is legal advice, we do not offer legal services, and no lawyer-client relationship is created. We help you build tools; you remain responsible for professional and ethical obligations.
Which tools do I need to pay for?
Most builds work on free tiers. A paid plan for one AI tool (roughly ₹1,500–2,000 a month) helps on heavier builds, and we’ll show you exactly which one to pick.
What if I can’t attend live?
Everyone gets 90 days of replay access. But the value is in building live with support, so we strongly recommend blocking both days.
What’s the refund policy?
The Ship-it Guarantee above, plus a cancellation window before the event. Both are written out in full in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
