The product provides real-time updates on U.S. laws and court rulings by scanning millions of sources daily. Paxton also offers a confidence indicator and AI Citator features to surface reliability insights and case law analysis. The company plans to use the new funding to expand operations and accelerate development efforts. Founded by CEO Tanguy Chau and CTO Michael Ulin and based in Bend, OR, Paxton has now raised $28M to date following a $6M seed in September 2023. Paxton offers a generative AI legal assistant focused on regulatory intelligence and legal research, using natural language processing and machine learning to produce intelligently analyzed first drafts.

Users can upload their own research and documents for analysis, and Paxton's database is updated in real time to track US federal and state laws, rules, regulations, and guidance. The product can be deployed behind a firm firewall with options to isolate data access by practice group or matter. Paxton complies with SOC2 requirements (attestation pending) and follows the American Bar Association’s guidelines on legal AI.
