For , the following are essential features, and you should therefore expect to see a check in every box in this section.

Yes
No

Product Security

Most AI products are built in such a way that they are inherently insecure. If this box is checked, the product or application claims to keep data secure and away from the prying eyes of the public. Although users should not put client information into these platforms, typically sensitive company information is safe.

Client Confidentiality

While some products are secure enough for your own data, others go the extra step of making sure no third party (even themselves) have access to any of the data in your AI product. In these cases, the provider claims that your data is secure enough to maintain your client's Attorney/Client privilege.

Marketing Tasks

Can this product be used for basic marketing tasks like blog creation, social media videos, or website images?

Documentation Assistance

Can this product be used to help document how to do something, whether internal or external facing?

Non-legal Research

Is this product helpful with basic, non-legal research?

Legal Research

Although answers from any large language model tool should be double checked by an appropriate expert, some products claim to be trained on legal specific information.

Additional Details about Paxton AI

Paxton is a legal-specific, web-based, large language model (LLM) AI designed for firms of all sizes. It offers comprehensive legal research, high-volume document analysis, including specifically contract review, and promises to “draft like a seasoned attorney.”

Paxton offers several pricing tiers. Attorneys can access the Basic plan for free, which gives access to statutes and regulations databases and AI-powered drafting. Students (those with an .edu email address) get improved search capabilities and access to secondary sources for $29/month. Paxton’s “complete” package, the Professional plan ($99/mo), further adds “full access” to AI assistance, AI-based contract review and document drafting, and the ability to upload existing documents for “personalized insights” from Paxton.

For techies or traditionalists, Paxton offers a Boolean Composer to help users “craft precise, complex queries” for exacting legal research.

Paxton’s architecture gives firms control over their data, even deploying the necessary LLM AI technology within the customer’s existing cloud infrastructure. Such an approach offers the firm the tightest control over their own data and the AI’s access to it.

Real-Time Alerts & Notifications

Paxton monitors regulatory changes and contract obligations, sending alerts when relevant laws shift or deadlines approach. These notifications help firms stay proactive and compliant without manually tracking updates.

Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance

With SOC 2 and HIPAA-ready infrastructure, Paxton ensures client data stays private and protected. It doesn’t train on your uploaded documents and supports private deployments for large firms.

Who Paxton AI is for
