Strong network of legal publishers around Europe's sovereign Legal AI Noxtua 

The Philosophy of Partnership 

In a world that is being reshaped by the global AI race, Europe faces a crucial question: How can we maintain digital sovereignty and secure Europe's position in the global economy without losing our values? This is precisely where European technology must come in, sensitive in its handling of data, firmly rooted in the rule of law and democratic principles. The Noxtua publishing partnerships were born out of this aspiration and collaborative philosophy.  

We do not believe in isolation, but in intelligent cooperation. That is why we bring together the centuries-old expertise of European specialist publishers with modern AI technology.  This combination creates — to quote Aristotle — more than the sum of its parts, a new whole that is stronger than any individual component. It is a response to the challenges Europe faces in international competition. The result is an ecosystem in which technology does not replace the legal profession, but rather strengthens it, enabling Europe to shape its digital future with confidence and self-determination.   

Where it all began: BECK-NOXTUA IN GERMANY   

Beck-Noxtua: Tradition meets innovation 

Behind the Beck-Noxtua Legal AI Workspace is Noxtua's core partnership with C.H.BECK, Germany's leading legal publisher. Founded in 1763, the publishing house is not only the main investor but also a co-developer of the AI solution, which combines the scaleup's AI technology with the beck-online legal database. As the most comprehensive database of its kind in the German-speaking world, beck-online covers all areas of law with more than 60 million documents and places a strong focus on commentary literature, which is essential for legal work. The content-based Legal AI Workspace Beck-Noxtua covers the core areas of legal text work, ranging from information gathering (research) and analysis of complex issues (understanding) to document creation. Numerous features such as matrix analysis, agentic workflows, source integration, and specialized templates facilitate the daily work of legal experts and are specially developed for their specific needs.  

Content partnerships: Erich Schmidt Verlag and WALHALLA In-depth expertise for the public sector in Germany  

However, Beck-Noxtua is not just a technical AI solution, but also a collaborative approach to promoting Europe's vibrant publishing landscape in all its diversity, even and especially in the age of AI. That is why the Legal AI is not designed as a “closed shop,” but offers other publishers the opportunity to make their content available to a broad user base in a controlled manner through Beck-Noxtua. The central theme here is the idea that, especially in such a sensitive area as the legal system, strategic partnerships pool expertise and allow European players to benefit from each other – while at the same time legal experts can enjoy the advantages of even broader coverage of exclusive legal literature in their legal research, document analysis, and document creation. This combination of different domain expertise and strong collaborations can also become a profitable recipe for success for Europe in the global AI race.  

One of these German content partners is the renowned Erich Schmidt Verlag. Founded in 1920, the Berlin-based publishing house focuses on civil service, collective bargaining, and social law, serving the public administration sector in particular. For Beck-Noxtua, the Berlin-based scaleup integrates selected ESV content (commentary on civil service law (Fürst)) into the Legal AI Workspace. At the same time, ESV uses Noxtua's AI technology for its own AI tool, AILIA.  

Another content partner is the legal publisher WALHALLA, based in Regensburg, founded in 1949 and well-established in the fields of administration, the armed forces, public safety and social affairs. WALHALLA is particularly well known for its practical commentary on all aspects of public service — from collective bargaining law and pay grading to staff representation — as well as for administration-related topics such as weapons law and registration, passport, and ID card law. The publisher focuses on supporting professional users in their day-to-day administrative decisions. In a first step, Beck-Noxtua is integrating content for the public sector and administration, creating a more comprehensive digital knowledge offering for the public sector. 

EUROPEAN EXPANSION: PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN LEADING PUBLISHERS AND NOXTUA  

Noxtua stands for Europe in action: emerging from research at Oxford University and Imperial College. The AI company was founded in Berlin in 2017 and now has offices in Paris, Zagreb, and Munich. At the same time, Noxtua is forming partnerships with leading legal publishers from across Europe to develop versions of the content-based Legal AI Workspace tailored to different national jurisdictions. Publishers' curated data treasures enable a high degree of specialization and precision in the local Noxtua versions, which are particularly crucial for legal professionals. Through these close strategic alliances and the combination of domain expertise, Noxtua is not only developing AI, but also a recipe for success for Europe in the global AI race, while at the same time setting new quality and security standards together with specialist publishers.  

MANZ-Noxtua: Austria's contribution to the European network 

In Austria, Noxtua is cooperating with the long-established MANZ publishing house, the pioneer of the first Austrian legal database RDB (1986). The partnership with the publishing house, founded in 1849, has resulted in MANZ-Noxtua: a Legal AI workspace that combines Austrian laws, commentaries, and law decisions with Noxtua's technology. This enables Austrian legal practitioners to research legal issues in Austrian legal texts and analyze and create documents—all jurisdiction-specific and GDPR-compliant. 

Swiss-Noxtua: the leading Swiss Legal AI  

Founded in 1895, Helbing Lichtenhahn Verlag is the ideal partner for a leading Swiss Legal AI. With extensive publications on commercial, administrative, and tax law (e.g., Basler Kommentar, Commentaire romand), the Swiss specialist in law, tax, and economics offers practical content for lawyers. With Swiss-Noxtua, Helbing Lichtenhahn is expanding its digital offering with a comprehensive AI application for researching and analyzing complex legal issues and creating documents. 

With partnerships in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the AI company Noxtua, together with strategic partners, will make its technology available throughout the DACH region in the versions Beck-Noxtua, MANZ-Noxtua, and Swiss-Noxtua.  

Beck-Noxtua Poland: Legal depth for the Polish legal market 

Through its partnership with Beck-Noxtua Poland, Noxtua is extending its European partnership concept to another key EU country. In collaboration with Wydawnictwo C.H.Beck, one of the country's leading legal publishers, they are creating a Legal AI Workspace that will combine Poland's legal tradition with Noxtua's European AI expertise. By integrating the extensive Legalis database, Polish legal professionals will soon have access to a sovereign AI solution that has been trained using exclusive local legal data. 

Beck-Noxtua Czech Republic: European AI meets Czech legal tradition 

Noxtua is continuing to expand its European strategy in the Czech Republic, where it is collaborating with Nakladatelství C. H. Beck to develop a specialized version of the Legal AI Workspace for the Czech legal system. Integrating the renowned Czech Beck online database with Noxtua's multi-level AI technology provides Czech lawyers with access to a Legal AI Workspace based on local legal data and commentaries fundamental to their work. The result is an AI application that guarantees technological performance and is rooted in Czech legal culture. 

The win-win-win strategy for legal experts, publishers, and Noxtua 

The legal profession, as both an academic challenge and a craft, is characterized by precise argumentation, source criticism, and ethical consideration. Noxtua works together with its publishing partners to preserve and strengthen the independent legal system in Europe by making generative AI legally compliant for legal experts. This creates a win-win-win situation for users, who benefit from legal expertise and legal compliance; publishers, who benefit from the controlled integration of their high-quality content into modern AI technology; and Noxtua, which benefits from access to exclusive data treasures.  

Publishers thus remain central as guarantors of verified knowledge in an AI-driven future, while Noxtua's AI solutions bring reliability through verified content, compliance through strict certifications, practical relevance through subject-specific content partnerships, and jurisdiction specificity through international partnerships.  

As Aristotle would say: cooperation creates a whole that strengthens Europe's sovereignty. This is exactly what Noxtua is putting into practice together with all its publishing partners.
