About BETA

Blueprint for Emerging Technology Attorneys

A trusted community of privacy, cybersecurity, and AI attorneys navigating the frontier of emerging technology law — together.

Our Mission

Why BETA Exists

Emerging technology is reshaping every dimension of legal practice. The attorneys who advise on AI systems, data privacy, and cybersecurity are navigating legal terrain that is evolving faster than doctrine can keep pace with — and they're often doing it without a community of peers who truly understand the landscape.

BETA was founded to change that. We exist to connect privacy, cybersecurity, and AI attorneys with each other, with substantive programming and resources, and with the broader community of technologists and policymakers shaping the field.

We believe that the best legal thinking about emerging technology happens in community — through peer exchange, rigorous analysis, and a shared commitment to getting it right.

Expertise

We hold ourselves to the highest standard of substantive rigor in everything we produce and program.

Community

We believe peer connection is as valuable as any resource — and we build our programs around it.

Accessibility

Emerging technology law should be accessible to every practitioner who needs it, not just those at large firms.

Interdisciplinary

The best legal thinking about technology happens in dialogue with the people building and regulating it.
