About Parley

What is Parley?

Which practice areas does Parley support?

Immigration (with deep immigration-specific features for USCIS/EOIR forms, petitions, support letters, RFEs and exhibits), personal injury, real estate, trusts & estates, family law, corporate/in-house contracts, and general litigation and brief work.

Case management

Is Parley a case management system?

Yes. Connect email and calendar and Parley's self-building database structures every client and conversation into a system of record. Records are Projects (a matter), Accounts (a company, client or employer) and Contacts (a person), linked across matters, and fields fill and update themselves from emails, meetings and uploaded documents. Find anything by chatting. Parley model
Routines deliver scheduled recurring reports on deadlines, matter status and inactivity.

Can we move off our existing case management system?

Yes. The agentic import-data Skill brings data over from an existing system. Firms that prefer a gradual transition can also run Parley alongside current tools, for example using Clio document sync.

What does Parley draft today?

Briefs, letters and other work product across practice areas, plus evidence‑aware letters and petition sections for major employment‑based immigration categories, including EB‑1, EB‑2 NIW, H‑1B, L‑1, TN, and E‑2.
