What Is Parley?

Parley is "The Legal Agent that works": an AI legal agent for legal teams across practice areas, with deep immigration-specific features for drafting and assembling complex immigration cases. Parley holds a legal team's files, communications (email, meetings) and deadlines in one platform, with its own self-updating case management, so AI delivers finished work on every task—drafting briefs and letters, filling forms, assembling exhibit packets, legal research, review, client communication and task coordination. For immigration teams, the O‑1A Writer and a broader suite of drafting features span all major business immigration case types; other teams use Parley for personal injury, real estate, trusts & estates, family law, corporate/in-house contracts and litigation work.

Core Workflow and Technology

AI Drafting with Immigration Depth: Parley's generative AI, with immigration-specific legal reasoning built in, automatically drafts petitions, reference letters, and supporting documents, parsing uploaded evidence (résumés, publications, reference letters, etc.) for each required legal criterion.
One-Click Case Assembly: With a single action, Parley compiles all drafted exhibits and evidence into a single, correctly ordered, and formatted PDF, eliminating hours of manual document processing and assembly.
Evidence Collection and Research: The platform extracts key details not only from uploaded documents, but can also automate the gathering of external supporting research (e.g., media articles, salary benchmarks) relevant to each case.
Self-Building Case Records: Connect email and calendar and Parley structures every client and conversation into a system of record—Projects (matters), Accounts (companies, employers) and Contacts (people)—with fields that fill and update themselves from emails, meetings and uploaded documents.
Integration and Compatibility: Parley works in Microsoft Word and Outlook through add-ins, and also works with Google Docs. It connects to Google or Microsoft email and calendar, includes a meeting notetaker, and syncs documents with Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box and Clio (plus Microsoft 365/OneDrive via Word).
Language and Localization: Parley supports over 10 languages, including English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, and others, expanding usability across diverse legal markets and client bases.
Brand and Style Customization: Law firms can tailor outputs to their unique branding, language preferences, and writing style. Templates and past samples become reusable Skills, and the system adapts as it learns from prior cases and attorney edits.

Platform Security and Deployment

Security Certifications: Certified SOC2 Type 2 and GDPR-compliant, with zero data retention and no AI model training on customer data. Parley is built with a legal-grade security model and best practices for encryption and data protection (Privacy Policy).
Deployment Models: Available as both a cloud web application and private cloud deployment—supporting the security requirements and IT policies of law firms from 20 to 500+ professionals.
Data Handling: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with geographically flexible data hosting options to support compliance and privacy needs in varying jurisdictions.
