SOC 2
Certified — independently audited security controls
From solo practitioners to AmLaw 200 firms, AXIS CloudSync handles the file workflows that matter most — from matter intake to closing and archival.
Keep privileged communications and work-product files strictly within your firm. Granular access controls ensure only authorized attorneys and staff can view sensitive matter files. Organizational privacy mode prevents cross-matter data exposure.
Instantly place legal holds on files and folders to prevent deletion or modification. Full audit trails with timestamps and user attribution satisfy Federal Rules of Civil Procedure eDiscovery obligations — without expensive third-party tools.
Every file access, modification, and share is logged with user identity, timestamp, and IP address — creating an unbroken chain of custody for evidentiary documents. Logs are tamper-evident and exportable for court submission.
Share closing documents, contracts, and case files with clients via password-protected, time-limited links — no client login required, no exposure of your internal systems. Download limits and expiration dates enforced automatically.
Connect attorneys across offices, remote counsel, and co-counsel firms on a single secure platform. Organizational privacy mode keeps each matter isolated — co-counsel sees only what you share, nothing more.
Organize files by matter, client, or practice group with folder-level permissions. Supports large document sets — deposition transcripts, exhibits, video depositions, and contract archives — with no file size limits.
Consumer-grade tools like Dropbox lack the litigation holds, tamper-evident logs, and organizational privacy controls that law firms require.
