Europe’s legal AI expands content alliance

Beck-Noxtua

Beck-Noxtua integrates content from other leading specialist publishers in Germany

  • Expansion to include, amongst other things, construction law, notarial practice, financial market regulation, medical law, pharmaceutical law, local government law and state law
  • A benchmark for quality thanks to a network of renowned specialist publishers
  • Secure and reliable AI technology made in Europe

Europe’s legal AI continues to grow: in addition to the legal content provided by the publisher C.H.BECK, legal experts will in future be able to use content from other leading specialist publishers for research, analysis and document drafting within the Beck-Noxtua Legal AI Workspace. This network-based approach brings together renowned specialist publishers and knowledge providers under a single, secure, 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, notarial and costs law, medical and pharmaceutical law, to financial market regulation, as well as local and regional law. This enhances the quality, coverage and European autonomy of the service 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 – to include more than 130 million searchable documents spanning over 250 years of European legal tradition.

Certified, reliable legal AI for Europe

Europe’s legal AI combines quality-assured legal content with an AI system specially designed for legal tasks; it is operated securely on the independent infrastructure of European partners, ensures the protection of professional secrecy in accordance with Sections 43a, 43e of the German Federal Lawyers’ Act (BRAO) and Section 203 of the German Criminal Code (StGB), offers GDPR compliance and holds numerous security-related certifications (including BSI C5, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO/IEC 42001 and TISAX). Legal practitioners benefit from practical features developed specifically for their particular needs, such as matrix analysis, agent-based workflows, source integration and specialised templates.

European Knowledge Alliance with autonomous AI technology

“By opening up Beck-Noxtua to further publishers, we are consistently pursuing the vision of a European knowledge alliance. Our aim is to bring together quality-assured legal content with technological excellence under a single, independent European umbrella. When renowned specialist publishers and specialised AI expertise come together, the result is added value that goes far beyond the sum of its parts. 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 measure ourselves.” – Dr. Roland Klaes (Member of the Management Board of C.H.BECK Publishers)

„Legal AI requires, above all, excellent, substantive content, as well as the highest standards of security and a robust infrastructure. The expanded content alliance makes Beck-Noxtua even stronger – Made in Europe, transparent and traceable. Because with Noxtua as Europe’s legal AI, we are not only developing an AI solution, but also strengthening Europe’s digital sovereignty by building a strong partner network whilst combining innovative AI expertise with a centuries-old publishing tradition to create a powerful combination.“ – Dr. Leif-Nissen Lundbæk (CEO & Co-Founder Noxtua)

That is why we have decided to collaborate with Europe’s leading legal AI, the AI solution with the highest security standards.

IBR / id-Verlag

„In construction and property law, timeliness, precision and practical relevance are crucial. For many years, our content has contributed to sound legal practice in this particularly dynamic area of law. Through its integration into Beck‑Noxtua, this specialist information will in future be accessible even more quickly and usable in context – a logical next step in the development of digital legal practice in the construction and property sector.“ – Dr. Stephan Bolz (Geschäftsführer des id-Verlags)

Kohlhammer

„The quality of AI-powered legal systems stands or falls on the quality of the underlying content. As a specialist publisher, we not only provide verified content, but above all its contextualisation and commentary. In this way, we ensure that legal issues are addressed in a well-founded, transparent and reliable manner. We integrate our top-quality legal content with Beck-Noxtua’s technology. For legal practice, this means reliable answers in seconds rather than hours.“ – Leopold Freiherr von und zu Weiler (Verleger Kohlhammer)
