What is Paxton?
Paxton is an all-in-one legal AI assistant for drafting, document analysis and research across US federal and state law. It is built by Paxton AI for individual attorneys and small to mid-sized firms, and its knowledge base covers federal regulations, state laws and case law across all 50 states. The platform is SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA certified.
Paxton's difference from general chatbots is that it is grounded in a legal knowledge base and built around legal workflows. It drafts documents, clauses, emails and contracts, analyses uploaded files to summarise them and suggest next steps, and answers research questions with context from relevant law. It also produces medical chronologies and medical billing summaries, which are useful in personal injury work. Paxton covers practice areas including corporate, criminal, employment, family and personal injury law. Paxton says it is not a law firm and does not give legal advice, so attorneys review its output before relying on it.
