​Parachute | Private Launch Night for SME Law Firms

​The Pillars, Sydney CBD

​Thursday 26 February | 5:30pm

​

​Why this night matters

​If you run a small-to-medium law firm, you can relate — clients want premium work, fast turnaround, fixed fees, and zero friction, but most firms are still running on duct tape, outdated systems, and overworked staff.

​This is an invite-only evening for partners and operators who are done pretending the old model still works.

​Built by a brilliant team and a CEO who’s lived it

​Ryan Zahrai, founder of Zed Law, turned a modern SME firm into one of the most AI-enabled practices in Australia in under two years, building the systems, workflows, and operating model that delivered 5x ROI within 3 months of deployment while traditional firms stayed stuck in time.

​And it worked.

​Now Ryan is taking everything learned in the trenches and turning it into a tech platform built specifically for SME law firms.

​Introducing Parachute

​Veraty is now Parachute, and the focus is not “legal tech” in the usual sense.

​Parachute is a platform designed to transform how SME law firms actually operate: delivery, pricing, workflows, team leverage, client experience, and margin.

​This is the early look, and opportunity to join a community of next-generation SME law firms that operate in the value layer, and not in the weeds.

​Off the back of Australia’s largest pre-seed capital raises for a legal platform, Parachute is going to market with a founding team that knows how to build and scale real products, not slide decks.

​Meet the founding team

​You’ll meet the people building Parachute:

• ​Ryan Zahrai (CEO) – Founding Principal of Zed Law, with deep conviction on how SME law firms can leverage technology to boost revenue, increase margins and deliver quality work

• ​Dave Berner (CTO) – Co-founder of Kinde, deep technical leadership and scalable product architecture.

• ​Viv Chan (CPO) – Original founder of Veraty, product strategy meets founder execution.

• ​Reed Li (CFO) – commercial, solutions-driven, focused on sustainable growth and real-world outcomes.

​

​What you’ll get out of it

​This is not a “demo night”. It’s a straight conversation with people who’ve done the work, early adopters, and a chance to collaborate with a select SME law firm community.

​We’ll cover:

• ​what’s actually working in AI for SME firms (and what’s not)

• ​how modern firms are building margin without burning out teams

• ​the operational moves that matter: systems, leverage, workflows, pricing

• ​what Parachute is building, and how it’s designed to make firms faster, sharper, and more profitable

​

​The room

​Hosted at the prestigious Pillars Club, level 3. Good operators only, who are tech-adoptive, and who want to see commercial returns to their firms.

​No tyre-kickers. No enterprise theatre.

​Drinks, canapés, real conversation, low/no ego, and a clear look at what the next version of SME practice looks like.

​Invite-only, limited capacity

​Capacity is capped and enforced.

​This invite is limited to:

• ​SME law firms

• ​migration agencies

• ​HR advisory firms

​If you want to attend, RSVP early. Once it’s full, it’s full.

​Looking forward to welcoming you, meeting in person, and building a genuine sense of SME operator community levelling up to the next phase of tech-enabled legal service delivery.
