About
Guillaume Libbrecht
Legal Intelligence Architect. Trained in law, and builds the systems himself: advisory for legal teams, then the software, then its upkeep.
01 · Background
Law first, then the systems.
Guillaume Libbrecht is a legal intelligence architect who bridges EU law and applied AI. Trained across four jurisdictions, the Netherlands, Germany, England and France, at Maastricht University, his work sits where regulatory complexity meets technology strategy. His bachelor thesis on the agency of self-modifying AI marked the move from pure law to building AI systems.
Outside the work: judo from childhood, competition across Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, then BJJ and MMA. The habit that carries over is testing against reality rather than against a plan.
He founded timmyshadylex to deliver legal intelligence tools that law firms and in-house teams use in practice: built lean, without outside capital, and engineered to run in production.
