“We have never seen a work environment this dynamic. The rate at which we are asking people to adapt reflects a fundamental business constraint. We need on-demand training that skills within our people’s available capacity by delivering compelling content that earns attention. These experiences will be important accelerants that bring generative AI and other emerging technologies into our work, faster.”

SkillBurst Interactive began in 2013 working with the world’s largest and most respected law firms.
As global law firms recommended us to their corporate counterparts, before long, we were designing and developing on-demand learning for a variety of Global and Fortune 500 companies and government agencies as well.
While our work and client base has expanded, we remain deeply committed to our roots in the legal profession.
Our law firm and corporate legal clients are launching innovation divisions, legal technology brands, digital service excellence initiatives, and much more to keep pace with the advent of generative AI, a once-in-a-career breakthrough for the legal industry.
