Frequently asked questions
What is Parley and who is it for?
Parley is "The Legal Agent that works": an AI legal agent for legal teams across practice areas. It holds a legal team's files, communications (email, meetings) and deadlines in one platform, so the Agent delivers finished work on every task—drafting briefs and letters, filling forms, assembling exhibit packets, legal research, review, client communication and task coordination—designed for attorney‑in‑the‑loop review. Parley serves immigration, personal injury, real estate, trusts & estates, family law, corporate/in‑house contracts and general litigation teams. Immigration remains a deep strength, with immigration‑specific features for USCIS and EOIR forms, petitions, support letters, RFEs and exhibits. See the Parley home page and independent overview in Business Insider.
Is Parley a case management system?
Yes. Parley includes self‑updating case management. Connect email and calendar and Parley builds a system of record—Projects, Accounts and Contacts linked across matters—whose fields fill and update themselves from emails, meetings and uploaded documents. Routines send scheduled reports on deadlines, matter status and inactivity.
Can Parley replace our existing case management system?
It can. The agentic import‑data Skill brings data over from an existing case management system. Teams that prefer a gradual transition can keep document sync with tools like Clio while they move.
What are Skills?
Drop in templates and past samples, and 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.
Which practice areas does Parley support?
Immigration, personal injury, real estate, trusts & estates, family law, corporate/in‑house contracts, and general litigation and brief work.
Which visa categories does Parley support today?
Parley materials indicate coverage across major employment‑based categories (e.g., EB‑1, EB‑2/NIW, H‑1B, L‑1, TN, and E, with E‑2 highlighted). See Parley home and Business Insider’s report noting E‑2 expansion.
Can Parley assemble USCIS‑ready exhibits for me?
Yes. Parley combines exhibits into a single PDF with auto‑generated table of contents and continuous pagination to reduce manual Acrobat work. See the Parley home page.
Does Parley fill out USCIS forms?
Yes. Parley can identify source‑of‑truth documents (passport, I‑94, diploma, offer letter) and fill I‑129, I‑140, G‑28, I‑907, with de‑duplicated requests so you don’t ask clients for the same data twice. Details are in the June changelog.
Can Parley help with Requests for Evidence (RFEs)?
Yes. Upload the RFE and (optionally) the original petition. Parley maps officer comments to criteria, summarizes issues, lists prior evidence, and suggests additional proofs, then drafts a structured response in your voice. Turn on tracking to get status updates when USCIS receives the response. See the June changelog and July changelog.
How does research and external evidence gathering work?
Parley’s Research Agent performs legal research and searches for corroborating materials (e.g., media mentions, DOL/industry benchmarks), integrating quotes and data into your drafts with citations. Learn more on the About page.
What integrations and formats are supported?
Parley works where you work: Microsoft Word and Outlook add‑ins; email and calendar (Google or Microsoft); a meeting notetaker; document sync with Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box and Clio; and export to Google Docs. See Parley home and the LegalTechnologyHub profile.
Is there really a Microsoft Word add‑in?
Yes. Parley offers a Word add‑in that generates and inserts content and searches your evidence directly from Word, matching firm voice and formatting. There is also an Outlook add‑in. See LegalTechnologyHub and Parley home.
Do you support Google Docs?
Yes. Drafts can be exported to Google Docs for firms that prefer Google Workspace. See the Parley home page.
How does Parley handle case tracking and USCIS updates?
The platform’s USCIS API powers real‑time updates from Applicant Profiles. Drag and drop I‑797s to auto‑link receipt numbers and start receiving updates. See the July changelog.
Is there a programmatic API?
Yes. In addition to in‑product USCIS status tracking, Parley offers an API (beta) for programmatic case‑status reads with webhook delivery and normalized categories; access is by request during beta.
Do you support public LCA postings and PAF management?
Yes. Parley recently launched LCA posting and Public Access File management: generate electronic LCA notices at a shareable link (auto‑unpublish at the end of the posting period) and create/retain PAFs with petitioner access.
What security and compliance standards does Parley meet?
Parley is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant, offers zero data retention, does not train AI models on customer data, and encrypts data, with access controls, audit trails, and guardrails that keep the attorney in the loop. See the Parley home page and Privacy Policy.
How is my data used and retained?
Parley’s Privacy Policy explains collection and usage (operations, R&D, communications, compliance) and retention for business/legal needs. It describes cookies/local storage, permitted sharing with service providers/authorities, and opt‑outs for marketing. Parley does not respond to Do Not Track signals. See also the Terms and Use Agreement for additional limits and responsibilities.
What deployment options exist?
Parley is available as a web app and can be deployed via private cloud for organizations with elevated requirements. See the LegalTechnologyHub profile.
