Germany's leading legal publisher C.H.Beck has become the lead investor in Noxtua, Europe's first sovereign legal AI platform, as the Berlin-based startup completes its Series B funding round of €80.7 million.
According to the company's press release, the investment brings together an impressive coalition of industry leaders: C.H.Beck, high-performance computing specialist Northern Data, and law firms CMS and Dentons. Together, they aim to strengthen Noxtua's position as Europe's leading sovereign legal AI.
The funding will support Noxtua's expansion into new European markets and the development of new products, including the Legal AI Workspace "Beck-Noxtua." This platform will integrate C.H.Beck's extensive legal content with Noxtua's AI capabilities, allowing legal professionals to research, review, edit, and draft documents in compliance with strict professional standards.
What makes Noxtua unique is its compliance with European data protection regulations and professional secrecy requirements for attorneys. The AI is built on proprietary models trained with high-quality legal data and operates on European cloud infrastructure.
"European digital sovereignty isn't just a political question—it requires hard technical facts," said Dr. Leif-Nissen Lundbæk, CEO and co-founder of Noxtua (formerly Xayn).
The technology originated from research at Oxford University and Imperial College London in 2017. With this strategic investment, Noxtua aims to create technology that reflects European values like transparency, data protection, and rule of law.
