Matter Management
Contacts, deadlines, notes, tasks, communications, documents, and billing organized around each matter.
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
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.
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.
Contacts, deadlines, notes, tasks, communications, documents, and billing organized around each matter.
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.
Track time, manage retainers, generate invoices, and monitor collections without leaving the platform.
Coordinate hearings, meetings, limitation periods, reminders, and matter-specific workflows.
Share documents, send updates, and collect signatures through a secure portal — every message and file tied to the right matter, hosted by your firm.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 firmsYour 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 requirementsCollins 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 isolationCollins 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.
