Paxton

What is Paxton?

Paxton is an AI legal assistant for attorneys and legal teams. You work inside a matter, where the assistant already has the matter's files and jurisdiction in context, and ask it to draft contracts, clauses, letters or pleadings, run legal research, or analyze uploaded documents. Research draws on US federal and state statutes, regulations and case law at the appellate level and above, using retrieval over a legal database with linked citations. An AI Citator shows the cases a result relies on and gives an AI reading of case standing. Uploaded files can be as large as 1GB, and PDFs up to 2,500 pages, with source highlighting so you can check answers against the original. Paxton is a web application and states SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA compliance. The Individual plan costs $499 per user per month, or $2,999 per user per year, and the Enterprise plan is priced by volume.
