Private legal infrastructure

Your firm deserves its own operating system.

Run your entire firm from one private operating system — matters, documents, billing, intake, e-signature, calendaring, client portal, and a legal AI that knows your files. One login. One database, your firm's own, never training a public model. And firms that want maximum isolation can run Collins on hardware they control — where nothing leaves unless you turn it on.

Used every day to run Collins Legal — before it was ever offered to another firm. Every release is proven in production before it ships.

Founding firm pricing — $49 per user/month, locked for 24 months · two-week pilot · no card to start

Isolated database per firm Client data never trains public models Fully private deployment available

Firm activity
Before and after

Replace the stack, not one tool in it.

Everyone wants the AI. Nobody wants the exposure. Meanwhile the rest of the firm runs on a patchwork — practice management here, e-signature there, scheduling somewhere else, client files pasted into a chatbot. Collins replaces the whole stack with one system built around the matter.

Before Collins
  • Practice managementA subscription that only does part of the job
  • E-signatureA separate service, one envelope at a time
  • SchedulingBooking links and calendar tag
  • AIA public chatbot in a browser tab — with client data pasted in
  • DocumentsWord templates scattered across a shared drive
  • Client communicationEmail threads and phone tag
After Collins
  • One operating system for the whole firm
  • One login for every workflow
  • One database — your firm's own, never shared
  • Private AI grounded in your firm's files, never training a public model
  • Every outbound connection is a switch your firm flips
  • One subscription to cancel the rest
One connected platform

Everything your firm needs. One system.

Staff re-keying the same client into three tools. Documents scattered across email, desktops, and a document portal. Billing that lags weeks behind the work. That's where a firm's margin goes — so Collins replaces the patchwork with one operating layer built around the matter. Every feature here exists because we needed it first.

01

Matter Management

Contacts, deadlines, notes, tasks, communications, documents, and billing organized around each matter.

02

Document Intelligence

Search, summarize, compare, classify, and draft using your firm’s document library and templates — with grammar, style, and tone review that runs entirely on your server.

03

Time & Billing

Track time, manage retainers, generate invoices, and monitor collections without leaving the platform.

04

Calendar & Deadlines

Coordinate hearings, meetings, limitation periods, reminders, and matter-specific workflows.

05

Client Portal & Communication

Share documents, send updates, and collect signatures through a secure portal — every message and file tied to the right matter, hosted by your firm.

06

Private Legal AI

Search, summarize, and draft against your firm’s own files. Inference runs on Collins-managed infrastructure under strict data handling — your documents never train a public model — or entirely on your firm’s own hardware with a private deployment.

Security by architecture

Nothing leaves unless you turn it on.

One system holding everything is only safe if your firm controls where everything lives. To answer a useful question, most legal AI sends your client’s documents to a model running on someone else’s servers. That is the exposure. Collins is built the other way — the AI comes to the data. On a private deployment, matters, documents, billing, and inference all run on hardware your firm controls.

The one door open by default is your backup, encrypted before it leaves the premises. Every other outbound path is a switch, and your firm’s hand is on it.

The diagram shows the fully private deployment — the top rung of the trust ladder below. Every edition, cloud included, gets its own isolated database (never a shared tenant), the same switches, and a full export whenever you want it.

The Collins data boundary All firm data and AI inference stay inside firm-controlled hardware. The only outbound path open by default is an encrypted backup. Microsoft 365, card payments, and remote access are off until the firm switches them on.

This is the list, not a summary of it. If a path is not here, it does not exist — and note what is missing: Collins itself. On a private deployment, we never receive your data — we cannot be compelled to produce what we do not hold, and a breach on our side cannot reach your clients.

Isolated by designEvery matter, document, and dollar lives in your firm’s own database — never a shared tenant. Firms that need more can step up to dedicated resources or hardware they control outright.
Granular accessRole-based permissions, matter-level controls, audit trails, and secure authentication. Every access is on the record.
Integrations on your termsConnect the services you already run — Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, e-signature, card payments. Each one is a switch you flip, into an account you already own.
A graduated trust model

Start in the cloud. Go as private as you need.

Every rung is the same Collins — same matters, billing, documents, and AI. What changes is how much of the infrastructure your firm holds itself. Start where you are; step up when your needs change.

Good

Collins Cloud

The standard edition. Your firm’s own isolated database — never a shared tenant — encrypted at rest and in transit, with AI on Collins-managed infrastructure under strict data handling. Client data never trains a public model.

Right for most firms
Better

Dedicated resources

Your own dedicated database server and AI inference — no shared compute — for firms with elevated security or compliance requirements, without running hardware yourselves.

For firms with higher requirements
Best

Private deployment

Collins on hardware your firm controls. Local AI inference next to the documents, firm-controlled retention and networking, and the full boundary shown above — nothing leaves unless you turn it on.

For firms that require maximum isolation

Collins Legal — the law firm behind Collins — runs on the same private deployment we offer customers. We don’t have to guess whether the architecture holds up; we practice law on it every day.

A different model

Legal software should work for the firm—not trap the firm.

Traditional legal SaaS
Collins
Your client files live in one shared multi-tenant database
Every firm gets its own isolated database — or its own box entirely
The AI ships your documents to an outside model vendor
The AI runs on Collins hardware next to the documents — no third-party model ever sees them
Data flows out by default; you audit it later
Nothing leaves unless you turn it on
A subpoena or breach at the vendor reaches every client of every firm
Isolation by database — and on a dedicated box, the vendor holds nothing at all
Separate tools, bolted together with add-ons
One system, built around the matter
Your firm adapts to the software
The software is deployed on your terms
Founding firm pricing

One price per seat, locked in early.

Collins is onboarding its founding cohort — the first firms who'll shape the platform. Early customers lock in $49/user pricing for 24 months, with no tiers, no feature gates, and no add-on modules. Pilot it free for two weeks alongside your current system, and only pay if it earns its keep.
