Neur.on’s NLP team joins European legal AI scale-up Noxtua

Fribourg-based legal tech company Neur.on has announced that its eight-member natural language processing (NLP) team will join Noxtua, a European legal AI scale-up headquartered in Berlin. Both companies will share offices in Fribourg going forward. Neur.on continues to operate independently, focusing on the development and international expansion of its AI translation platform for the legal and financial sectors.

Neur.on’s NLP team brings interdisciplinary expertise combining data science, law, and linguistics, with backgrounds from institutions including EPFL, the University of Fribourg, the University of Geneva, and the HES-SO. The team’s specialization in complex, jurisdiction-specific, and multilingual legal content makes it a strategic fit for Noxtua’s expansion into the quadrilingual Swiss market and broader European growth ambitions.

Founded in 2017 in Berlin, Noxtua develops GDPR-compliant AI solutions covering the full spectrum of legal text work, from research and issue analysis to document drafting. The company holds certifications including ISO 27001 and 42001, and BSI C5, meeting stringent professional and data protection requirements for legal practitioners. Strategic investors including German legal publisher C.H.BECK and law firms CMS and Dentons have committed around EUR 81 million as part of its Series B, with offices now spanning Berlin, Paris, Munich, Zagreb, and Fribourg.

Neur.on founder Paula Reichenberg remains Chair of the Board of Directors of Neur.on while assuming the role of VP Legal Innovation at Noxtua. Founded in 2022 as a spin-off from Swiss language service provider Hieronymus, Neur.on previously raised CHF 1.6 million and won the Early Stage Start-up of the Year category at the Swiss FinTech Awards 2024.
