## What Parachute does

- **AI document drafting.** Contracts, policies, advices and letters, generated from your own precedents or from scratch, in the jurisdiction you practise in. Three AI modes match depth to the task.
- **Contract review.** Structured review rather than a summary: extracted obligations, risk scored by severity, conflicts flagged against your knowledge base, and in-line suggestions you can accept in the editor.
- **Legal research and knowledge base.** Questions answered against a global legal knowledge base, Australian legislation, and your own precedents and playbooks, with source citations on every answer.
- **Expert verification.** Human review on any document, routed to your connected law firm or the expert pool, with real-time chat and the price shown before you commit.
- **Integrations and collaboration.** NetDocuments, Clio, Smokeball, InfoTrack, OneDrive and Slack, plus a Word add-in, a meeting note taker and email-to-thread. Real-time collaboration, version history, comments, and Word or PDF export.

## What makes Parachute different

- **Built for firms of 1 to 200 lawyers.** Harvey and Legora are built for the top tier of global law and sold through an enterprise process. Parachute is built for the mid-market.
- **Published pricing, not a quote.** Harvey and Legora quote per firm. Parachute publishes its pricing, so a firm can work out its cost before speaking to anyone.
- **It does the legal work, not the practice management.** Clio, Smokeball and LEAP run the firm: matters, billing, trust, time capture. Parachute does the work inside those matters, and integrates with all three rather than replacing them.
- **Purpose-built, not a general assistant.** ChatGPT and Claude rely on the user to ask the right question. Parachute gathers context first from the knowledge base, jurisdiction and organisation profile, and carries a review pipeline, collaborative editor and expert verification around the output.
- **Australian data residency, no training on customer data.** Data is hosted in Australia and is never used to train AI models.

## The team

Parachute was founded by a practising lawyer, to build software made specifically for firms of 1 to 200 lawyers. It launched in September 2024 and has been co-built with law firms and businesses across Australia since day one.

Ryan Zahrai is co-founder and CEO. Dave Berner is co-founder and CTO, and leads engineering and the platform. Viv Chan is co-founder and CPO, and leads product. The team is eight people across engineering, product and partnerships, based in Sydney.

Parachute raised a $1.8M pre-seed led by Rampersand, with Co Ventures, Aussie Angels and a group of legal-tech operators.

## How Parachute works

- **Getting started.** Book a demo and the team will show you the platform against your own work, help you choose the right plan, and get your firm set up.
- **Onboarding.** You select your jurisdiction at sign-up, then upload precedents, policies and playbooks to your organisation knowledge base. Connect NetDocuments, Clio, Smokeball, InfoTrack or OneDrive to work against documents you already have. Enterprise plans include custom onboarding.
- **Who you work with.** A team of eight in Sydney. Email support on every plan, with dedicated support and contracted SLAs on Enterprise.
- **Day-to-day communication.** In the app, with real-time collaboration, comments and @mentions. Support by email at support@goparachute.ai. Slack integration brings Parachute into existing channels.
- **When you need a human.** Expert verification routes to your connected law firm or the expert pool, with real-time chat during review. The engagement is between the customer and the law firm; Parachute facilitates it.

## FAQ
