Wolters Kluwer Launches Libra Academy Across Europe to Help Legal Professionals Build Practical AI Skills and Accelerate Adoption of Libra

(IN BRIEF) Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory has launched Libra Academy across Europe, providing customers of its Libra legal AI workspace with an integrated learning and enablement platform designed to accelerate practical AI adoption within legal teams. Developed by lawyers for lawyers, the Academy combines self-paced training, live webinars, local-language use cases, workflow-based guidance and access to a European community of legal professionals. Wolters Kluwer said the initiative responds to a growing challenge for legal organisations: while AI capabilities, models and use cases are evolving rapidly, traditional training methods can struggle to keep professionals current. Libra Academy is therefore designed as a continuously evolving resource embedded directly into the Libra experience, helping users apply AI to everyday activities including legal research, drafting and review. The European launch follows strong engagement with an earlier version of the Academy in Germany. Included with every Libra licence, the platform forms part of Wolters Kluwer’s wider effort to help legal professionals adopt artificial intelligence responsibly, confidently and productively while gaining more value from their legal technology investments.

(PRESS RELEASE) ALPHEN AAN DEN RIJN, 9-Sep-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory has launched Libra Academy, a new learning and enablement platform designed to help legal professionals integrate artificial intelligence more effectively into their daily work and gain greater value from the company’s legal AI workspace, Libra by Wolters Kluwer.

Developed by lawyers for lawyers, Libra Academy combines self-paced learning, live webinars, practical use cases in local languages and access to a European community of legal professionals.

The initiative is intended to help customers move beyond initial experimentation with AI and develop the practical knowledge required to use the technology productively in legal research, drafting, review and other day-to-day workflows.

New academy responds to rapidly evolving legal AI landscape

Wolters Kluwer said legal teams are increasingly focused on moving from AI experimentation toward measurable productivity improvements.

However, the pace of development in artificial intelligence is creating a new challenge for legal professionals. New models, functionality and use cases are emerging continuously, while conventional training programmes can struggle to keep pace.

Libra Academy has been created to address that gap by providing a continuous learning environment that develops alongside the Libra platform itself.

The company said this approach should help customers acquire relevant skills more quickly, understand newly introduced capabilities and make more effective use of their investment in legal AI.

Learning platform integrated directly into Libra experience

Libra Academy is built directly into the Libra by Wolters Kluwer experience and is structured around how legal professionals work in practice.

The platform combines self-paced training, live webinars, workflow-based guidance and practical use cases, helping participants translate learning into everyday legal tasks.

Content will also be available in local languages, reflecting the different legal environments and professional needs found across Europe.

The academy is intended to provide a continuously updated resource rather than a one-time training programme, allowing users to develop alongside the technology as the platform evolves.

European community designed to encourage peer learning

Alongside formal training resources, Wolters Kluwer is creating a wider community around Libra Academy where legal professionals can exchange experiences and learn from peers dealing with similar questions around AI adoption.

Participants will be able to learn from both Libra specialists and other legal professionals, creating a collaborative environment for sharing practical approaches, use cases and lessons from implementation.

Wolters Kluwer believes this community-based approach can help legal professionals gain confidence in using AI while also accelerating adoption within their organisations.

Focus shifts from whether AI creates value to how it is used

Dr. Yannek Wloch, Director Legal Engineering, Libra by Wolters Kluwer, said the legal sector has progressed beyond the question of whether artificial intelligence can generate value.

The more important challenge now, he said, is helping organisations ensure that their professionals can use AI effectively as part of their everyday work.

According to Wloch, Libra Academy is designed to address this need through practical guidance, proven use cases and a learning community intended to help customers achieve useful outcomes more quickly.

German pilot demonstrates demand for practical AI skills

The European rollout follows strong engagement with an earlier version of Libra Academy in Germany.

Anja Koch, Partnership Manager, Libra by Wolters Kluwer, said the initial experience demonstrated significant demand among legal professionals for practical AI skills and opportunities to connect with others working with the technology.

She said Wolters Kluwer is now expanding the academy across Europe to give more customers access to the same combination of practical learning, community engagement and platform-specific guidance.

Workflow-based training supports research, drafting and review

Libra Academy is structured around common legal workflows rather than abstract AI theory.

Training and use cases will focus on areas including legal research, drafting and document review, enabling participants to see how AI can be applied directly within tasks they already perform.

Wolters Kluwer said the aim is to help customers progress from exploring the technology to using Libra consistently and productively in professional legal environments.

This workflow-oriented approach is also intended to shorten the time between learning a new capability and applying it to practical work.

Academy included with every Libra licence

Libra Academy is included in every Libra by Wolters Kluwer licence, making the learning environment available as part of the core customer offering rather than as a separate training product.

Wolters Kluwer said the initiative reflects its broader commitment to supporting responsible and effective adoption of artificial intelligence across the legal profession.

By combining AI technology with continuous education, practical use cases and peer learning, the company aims to help customers build capabilities alongside the rapidly developing legal AI market.
