Parachute overview

Parachute is an AI-powered legal platform designed to help small law firms and growing businesses do less admin and practice more law. The platform combines AI-powered document drafting, automated contract review, legal advice, knowledge base management, and expert verification in a single unified workspace. What sets Parachute apart is its tiered AI mode system — users choose between Paralegal, Lawyer, or Senior Associate modes depending on the complexity of the task — and its expert verification network, which allows firms to request human sign-off from their connected law firm or Parachute's expert network when needed. Parachute integrates natively with Clio and Smokeball for matter and contact sync, InfoTrack for property and company searches, OneDrive for document access, and Microsoft Word for in-document drafting. Pricing starts at $400/month AUD (annual) for one seat, with additional seats at $100/month each. A 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required. All data is hosted in Australia, with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance.

Key capabilities

Parachute's standout feature is its expert verification network — the ability to escalate any AI output to a human lawyer for sign-off, bridging the gap between AI efficiency and professional accountability. The tiered AI mode system (Paralegal, Lawyer, Senior Associate) gives users precise control over the depth and formality of AI outputs. The knowledge base architecture means all AI responses are grounded in firm-specific context rather than generic training data, dramatically reducing hallucinations and improving relevance. The InfoTrack partnership (announced 2026) enables property and company searches directly within the platform, making it particularly strong for conveyancing and corporate practices.
