Foundations · Jan 4 – 9

See how power users actually work.

A one-week live course for lawyers who already use AI.

Five days of hands-on practice, with your work checked by a mentor. Then a live build on Saturday.

You work through set exercises. You do not bring your own project. To build a tool for your own practice with a matched mentor, see the Residency.

From people who sat Foundations
“It's overwhelmingly positive … What I've learned isn't only going to shape my build, but also the way I use AI for my ‘regular’ legal work.”
Simon OwensSimon Owens
Global Privacy Officer, Chevron
“The homework after each session was the most valuable part for me. That is where the webinar content started to click.”
Taras StadniichukTaras Stadniichuk
AML Lawyer, Cleary Gottlieb
“The simultaneous demonstrating and showing while explaining is perfect.”
Averell SuttonAverell Sutton
Crypto & Digital Assets Attorney
“Often, some of the most useful insights come from the person who’s not leading the session but chipping in with a different perspective or approach.”

Senior Associate, A&O Shearman

The first run, in November 2026, was taken by lawyers in the LegalQuants Residency.

  2. 02Power userFoundations week

Knows the ceiling

What the best tools can do at their best, and where they fail.

Knows what work can be done with AI

Which parts of your own work an agent can take, and how to hand them over.

Knows when and what to check

Where the output needs your eyes, and exactly what to look for.

Six sessions in six days.

Each weekday: a 60-minute live session, a 30-minute open lab, and an exercise a Foundations mentor checks. Saturday: a 90-minute live build that you follow.

01
Agents, memory and context

Get your agent to remember how you work, from one session to the next.

02
Voice and formats

Brief your agent by speaking, and get work back in a form you can share.

03
Intent and parallel work

Get the agent to do what you meant, and run several pieces of work at once.

04
Models and effort

Pick the right model for the job, and make your subscription last.

05
Skills, connectors and the browser

Connect your agent to the tools and websites you already use.

Foundations and the Residency.

Foundations: you leave able to direct agents and check their work in your everyday practice.

The Residency: four weeks building a tool for a real problem in your practice, with a matched mentor.

If you join the Residency later, you pay the Residency fee ($5,850) and do not retake Foundations. The Foundations fee is not credited.

Questions

Asked before joining.

Do I need a technical background?

No. You need to be using AI already. A setup guide and a recorded walkthrough get the tools installed before day one.

What do I need?

Your own Claude or ChatGPT subscription, and about 1.5 hours a day. Claude Cowork or ChatGPT Work is enough. Claude Code or Codex is better, but not required. We teach principles, not a product walkthrough.

Will I need client documents?

No. Exercises use open and synthetic documents, so you never have to touch client data.

Is there a mentor?

No matched one-to-one mentor. Foundations mentors check your daily exercises.

What is the Saturday live build?

A 90-minute live session that you follow. You do not bring your own project.

What if I miss a session?

Every session is recorded, with slides and the exercise, the same day.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. We issue a paid invoice, and a certificate of attendance after the week.

Can my firm send several people?

Yes. Email jamie@legalquants.com and we will issue one invoice for the group.

Is the price in US dollars?

Yes.

What is the refund policy?

50% refund up to 27 December 2026. After that, no refund except force majeure.
