Berlin-based legal AI and enterprise software company Noxtua has raised more than €100 million in a Series C funding round from C.H.BECK and MANZ, two major legal publishers that have taken majority control of the company, according to the information provided.
The deal represents a significant development in Europe’s legal technology market, as established legal publishing companies move directly into the AI sector rather than simply watching artificial intelligence reshape their traditional businesses.
Noxtua Expands Its Legal AI Platform
Noxtua develops AI-powered tools for legal professionals and enterprise users.
Founder and CEO Leif-Nissen Lundbæk said the company’s team has grown by a factor of four over the past year, while revenue has increased five times in the past four months.
More than 30,000 legal professionals are already using the company’s products, giving Noxtua an established user base within the German-speaking legal technology market.
The company’s growth demonstrates how generative AI and specialised enterprise software are increasingly being integrated into professional services.
Legal Publishers Take Majority Control
Rather than simply competing with AI companies that could disrupt traditional legal publishing, C.H.BECK and MANZ have chosen to take controlling ownership of Noxtua.
The investment gives the two publishers a direct stake in the development of legal AI technology while allowing them to participate in the transformation of the professional legal software market.
The strategy reflects a wider European trend in which established companies are choosing to invest in, acquire or partner with AI startups instead of attempting to build every new AI capability internally.
Germany Sees Growing AI Investment
Noxtua’s funding round comes as Germany continues to attract substantial investment into artificial intelligence.
The information provided indicates that German AI companies raised roughly $3.5 billion in funding during 2026.
The growth of AI investment is also creating opportunities across professional services, including law, finance, healthcare and enterprise software.
For Noxtua, the latest funding provides additional resources to expand its technology and customer base, while the involvement of two major legal publishers could give the company deeper access to the legal market.
The deal highlights the growing relationship between established professional industries and AI startups as companies look for ways to adapt to the rapid development of artificial intelligence.
