This new collaboration feature lets multiple attorneys at a firm securely work the same case together — sharing files, chronologies, evidence, and drafts in one workspace instead of scattered email chains and duplicate uploads

San Francisco, California — July 17, 2026 — Paxton AI, the AI litigation platform for legal research, document drafting, and case analysis, today announced Secure Matter Collaboration, a new capability that enables multiple attorneys at the same firm to securely collaborate on a litigation matter. Teams can upload files, build case chronologies, review evidence, and draft briefs, discovery documents, and trial preparation materials – all within a shared, secure workspace.

The release addresses one of litigation’s most persistent operational challenges: keeping multiple attorneys aligned as a matter evolves. Files, chronologies, research, and drafts often become fragmented across email, shared drives, and individual workspaces, leading to duplicate effort, outdated work product, and unnecessary risk.

“Being able to collaborate using the same set of matter documents is a game changer,” said Ashley King Owner of Crown Discovery. “With other tools, attorneys may have to create separate workspaces and upload the same documents again. Paxton gives the entire team access to the same files and matter intelligence while still allowing each person to work independently. That is much closer to how litigation teams actually need to operate.”

 

Shared Access Respecting Ethical Walls

Secure Matter Collaboration gives every attorney added to a matter immediate access to the same case files and generated outputs — no re-uploading, no forwarding attachments, no waiting on whoever happens to hold the account. Each collaborator signs in under their own individual account, while access to the matter itself is managed centrally and in line with the firm’s ethical walls, eliminating the credential-sharing and duplicate-upload problems that slow teams down.

 

Key capabilities include:

  • Shared matter access. Every team member works from the same evidence, chronology, research, and case files — not separate copies that quietly drift apart.
  • One workspace instead of email chains. Uploading files, building chronologies, reviewing evidence, and drafting legal documents all happen directly in Paxton.• Individual accounts, centralized access. Attorneys use their own logins while matter-level access is managed by the firm, respecting ethical walls and removing the need to share credentials.
  • Review without overwriting. Teammates can review each other’s drafts and outputs without risk of overwriting one another’s work.
  • Faster approvals. Shared visibility into a matter’s current state means faster sign-off to file-ready output.
  • Enterprise-grade security. Collaboration is protected by enterprise-grade security, and documents and data are never used to train Paxton’s AI models.

 

The feature currently supports collaboration on medical billing summaries, motions, and other generated artifacts including chronologies and case drafts, with additional collaboration capabilities on the roadmap.

“Litigation is a team effort, but most legal AI software still treats a matter as though it belongs to one person,” said Tanguy Chau, Ph.D., CEO and Founder of Paxton AI. “We built Secure Matter Collaboration so every authorized member of a litigation team can work from the same files, chronologies, evidence, and work product without sharing credentials or recreating work. When the entire team has a common understanding of the matter, attorneys can move faster, collaborate more effectively, and reduce the risk of important information falling through the cracks.”

 

Availability

Secure Matter Collaboration is available now to Paxton customers. Full documentation is available on Paxton’s website.
