“This is a major step forward for lawyers and legal professionals, making it possible to apply the power of large language models to a broader set of legal data,” says Bosse Langaas, CEO of Saga. “You can now bring significantly more case law into your legal work than you would have managed manually.”
Saga is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Gyldendal Rettsdata, enabling access to authoritative legal sources through Saga’s AI-powered platform. The collaboration marks a milestone in the integration of legal data and technology in Norway, with Saga among the first providers of legal AI solutions to offer direct access to Rettsdata’s comprehensive legal archive.
The partnership provides Saga’s users—legal professionals across the country—with the ability to access and work with up-to-date legislation, regulations, preparatory works, and court decisions, including Supreme Court rulings. The integration will be rolled out in phases starting in May, with initial pilot projects already in motion.
As part of the collaboration, Saga will soon launch a dedicated legal research section within its platform. Users will be able to search semantically across legal sources, filter and weight results, and structure sources directly into their case workflows. According to Langaas, the tool supports an integrated work experience:
“Lawyers will be able to use a single platform throughout every part of the legal process.”
The API-based collaboration includes strict safeguards. As Rettsdata’s CEO Cecilie Bergenstjerna explains, “We do not allow data sharing or storage outside the secure IT environments of our partners.” In line with this, all use of the Rettsdata content within Saga’s platform is restricted to professional users operating in GDPR-compliant, closed systems.
Rettsdata, part of the Gyldendal group, is also committed to ensuring equal access to legal innovation. “We want all professional lawyers to have the same access to technological solutions, so that the development benefits both users and society,” Bergenstjerna adds.
For smaller law firms—many of which work in areas such as criminal law and child protection—the partnership represents an important step toward equitable access to advanced legal tools. “In these kinds of cases, the societal value of functional technology may be even greater,” says Langaas. “It’s a positive development that the benefits of legal AI aren’t reserved only for the largest commercial firms.”
The integration reflects a shared commitment to responsible innovation. As Bergenstjerna notes, “You don’t become a hundred-year-old company without continuously innovating. This is part of our DNA.”
Saga continues to explore additional integrations across jurisdictions to support legal professionals beyond Norway, reinforcing its role in building secure, reliable, and practical AI tools for the legal sector.
