The new jobs are part of Newcode’s international expansion, following a seed funding round of more than €5.7m.

Norwegian legal-tech software company Newcode is continuing its European expansion with plans to hire 30 employees as it develops a presence in Dublin, Ireland.

The move is part of Newcode’s plans for international growth, following a seed funding round of more than €5.7m, which was backed by Alliance VC, The LegalTech Fund and other major investors.

Founded in 2021, Newcode is an Oslo-headquartered organisation with an additional presence across Europe and the US. The company enables firms and enterprises to run intelligent, auditable and context-aware workflows across their legal operations.

Currently, the company is pitching its agentic AI platform as a digital ‘co-worker’ for legal teams and processes, situated between an organisation’s systems, data and applications. 

Commenting on the jobs announcement, Maged Helmy, Newcode’s co-founder and CEO, said: “As we expand our international footprint, we’re excited to establish our presence in Ireland, starting with 30 new hires planned in the first year as we scale and invest in one of Europe’s most dynamic technology and professional services markets. 

“With operations already across Denmark, Oslo, Sweden, Finland, Palo Alto and New York, Dublin is the natural next step in our growth.”

This week, also in Norway, Lace Lithography, a Microsoft-backed chipmaking equipment start-up, announced the raising of $40m to be used in the advancement of its unique semiconductor technologies. Lace’s engineers have developed a novel system that uses a helium atom beam over a light-based system, to enable the design of chips that are 10 times as small as what is currently possible. 

The organisation’s CEO Bodil Holst explained that Lace’s advancements could allow chipmakers to print silicon wafers at what could be considered “ultimately atomic resolution”.
