Munich/Berlin,7.7.2026 – Europe’s legal AI continues to grow: In addition to the legal content from C.H.BECK, legal experts will soon be able to use content from other leading specialized publishers for research, analysis, and document drafting within the Beck-Noxtua Legal AI Workspace. This network approach brings together renowned specialized publishers and knowledge providers under a robust, legally compliant AI umbrella developed specifically for the European legal landscape. By integrating additional publishing partners, Europe’s Legal AI is expanding the range of content available in Beck-Noxtua, from construction law, notary and cost law, medical and pharmaceutical law, to financial market regulation, as well as municipal and state law. This enhances the quality, coverage, and European sovereignty of the offering for law firms, legal departments, public administration, and the judiciary. Together with leading legal publishers from across Europe, Noxtua is expanding Europe’s largest legal database, serving as a substantial foundation for Legal AI, with more than 130 million searchable documents spanning over 250 years of European legal tradition.

This unique interplay of content and technology sets a new standard of quality for legal work in the digital age. Timeliness, reliability, and digital sovereignty remain the benchmarks by which we guide ourselves.” – Dr. Roland Klaes (Member of the Executive Board of C.H.BECK Publishing).

“Above all, Legal AI requires excellent, substantive content as well as the highest standards of security and a robust infrastructure.
