Dallas-based BARBRI Global announced this week it has acquired Atlanta-based online course company Strafford, according to a news release.
The acquisition brings Strafford’s library of advanced webinars into BARBRI’s extensive learning offerings.
"By bringing Strafford into the BARBRI Global legal education ecosystem, we continue to fulfill our vision to be the education partner for our clients at every step of their legal journey - from backpack to briefcase," Stephen Fredette, CEO of BARBRI Global, said in the release.
For over 30 years, Strafford has provided educational courses focused on educating attorneys, accountants, and other professions.
In addition to the acquisition, BARBRI added the position of VP of Product for Professional Education to its team, which Justin Hummel will take over.
"Like BARBRI, Strafford delivers high quality, high value, premium content, appealing to seasoned professionals, partners, GC's and corporate legal offices,” Hummel said in the release. “We are excited about extending Strafford's education content to a broader audience and new geographies in the BARBRI global network."
BABRI Global is a provider of legal education materials and digital learning solutions dedicated to meeting the specialized training needs of law students, attorneys, and other professionals.
"This transaction brings together two market-leading companies with a shared commitment to excellence in professional content and premier customer service," Richard Ossoff, founder and CEO of Strafford, said in the release. "BARBRI will provide the resources necessary to rapidly expand the breadth and scope of top-quality programming that are the hallmark of the Strafford brand."
