Parley is an AI legal agent and legal work platform for legal teams across practice areas—immigration, personal injury, real estate, trusts & estates, family law, corporate/in‑house contracts, and general litigation and brief work. Founded by Philip Smart, Jackson Perry, and Ian Edwards and launched in 2024 (Parley Technologies, Inc.; Y Combinator S24), Parley grew out of deep roots in immigration law—the CEO’s father is a longtime immigration attorney in Texas—and combines large language models, a self-building case database, and integrations with the tools lawyers already use. Parley is trusted by 100+ legal teams, and immigration remains a deep strength, with immigration‑specific features for petitions, support letters, RFEs, forms and exhibits.

Key Features & Solutions

1. Automated Legal Document Drafting (with Deep Immigration Coverage)

Drafting across practice areas: Parley drafts briefs, letters, memos and other documents for legal teams in many practice areas.
AI-generated drafts for major U.S. visa categories: For immigration teams, Parley creates high-quality drafts for O-1A, EB-1, EB-2/NIW, H-1B, TN, L-1, E-2, and other employment-based petitions.
Evidence-driven automation: The platform reads, extracts, and organizes key details from uploaded evidence and documentation, incorporating facts directly into legal briefs and petitions.
Reference/support letter generation: Parley drafts customized, USCIS-ready support and reference letters using information from résumés, transcripts, offer letters, and a firm’s preferred writing style.
Skills: Drop in templates and past samples; Parley turns them into reusable Skills so the Agent drafts, fills forms, researches and completes work the way your firm already works. A firm-level Skill (role, practice area, letterhead) improves everything.

2. Case Assembly & Exhibit Organization

One-click exhibit compilation: Parley combines all supporting evidence and exhibits into a single, properly-ordered, and formatted PDF with a single click—eliminating hours of manual file work.
Custom exhibit indexing: Flexible sorting (numbered, lettered, or logic-based) to match firm or attorney preferences.
Integrated workflows: Document sync with Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box and Clio, plus export/import with Microsoft Word, Google Docs and OneDrive.

3. AI Research & Evidence Collection

Research agent: Parley automates legal research and the collection of external research including media metrics, salary benchmarks, and other supporting data—saving attorneys hours per case.
Smart quotation pulling: The system detects, parses, and incorporates relevant quotes from letters of reference and case documents directly into narrative sections.

4. Seamless Collaboration in Attorney Workflows

Native Microsoft Word and Outlook add-ins, plus Google Docs: Attorneys work directly in Word, Outlook or Google Docs, generating and editing language without leaving preferred tools.
Email, calendar and meetings: Connect Google or Microsoft email and calendar, and use the meeting notetaker so communications flow into matter records.
Firm branding and style customization: AI adapts to produce outputs consistent with your firm’s branding, language, and precedent, improving with continued usage.

5. AI-Native Case Management

Self-building database: Connect email and calendar and Parley structures every client and conversation into a system of record. Fields fill and update themselves from emails, meetings and uploaded documents.
Records: Projects (a matter), Accounts (a company, client or employer) and Contacts (a person), linked across matters. Find anything by chatting.
Routines: Scheduled recurring reports on deadlines, matter status and inactivity.
Moving from another system: The agentic import-data Skill offers a path off an existing case management system; teams that prefer a gradual transition can keep document sync with tools like Clio in the meantime.
