Noxtua is Europe’s sovereign Legal AI. This legally competent AI covers the entire spectrum of legal text work – from information gathering (research) and analysis of complex issues (understanding) to document creation (drafting). The legally compliant AI meets the professional, criminal, and data protection requirements for lawyers (e.g. Section 203 German Criminal Code, Section 43e German Federal Code for Lawyers), is certified according to BSI C5, TISAX, ISO 27001, 9001, 27018, 27017, and 42001. The tech company Noxtua has formed exclusive partnerships with leading European publishing houses from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia for the Legal AI Workspaces Beck-Noxtua, MANZ-Noxtua, Swiss-Noxtua, Beck-Noxtua Poland, Beck-Noxtua Czech Republic and Beck-Noxtua Slovakia.

Founded in 2017 in the German capital as a result of a research project by Dr. Leif-Nissen Lundbæk and Professor Dr. Michael Huth at Oxford University and Imperial College London, the European legal tech company has many years of experience in developing GDPR-compliant AI solutions and now has offices in Paris, Berlin, Zagreb, and Munich. Strategic partners including Germany’s leading legal publisher C.H.BECK as well as the leading law firms CMS and Dentons have invested around 81 million EURO in the European scaleup as part of its Series B.
