Filevine Acquires Parrot, Expanding Deposition Services
Filevine, the leading legal work platform trusted by over 150,000 legal professionals, has announced the acquisition of Parrot, a full-stack platform for transcribing, scheduling, and managing depositions. This marks Filevine’s third strategic acquisition, reinforcing its mission to deliver a “single pane of glass” where legal professionals can manage, track, and complete every aspect of their cases.
“This acquisition is a pivotal leap forward in our mission to redefine legal work,” said Ryan Anderson, CEO of Filevine. “We’re not just accelerating, we are transforming how legal professionals operate. By uniting proprietary technology, premium services, and AI into a single, integrated platform, we empower teams to move faster, think bigger, and lead the industry into a new era. The future of legal work isn’t coming—it’s being built right here, right now.”
Parrot was born out of necessity by Eric Baum, a Florida Special Victims Unit prosecutor frustrated by the slow, overpriced, and outdated world of legacy court reporting—an industry still operating like it was pre-Internet. He partnered with his brother, Bryan Baum, a tech entrepreneur, investor, technologist, and Tomas Scavnicky, to co-found Parrot: a faster, smarter alternative. They built proprietary speech recognition technology that delivers near-instant, high-accuracy transcripts synchronised with audio and video, with clear, transparent pricing.
CEO Aaron O’Brien was brought in a year later to scale the vision. Together, they built Parrot, which has become the platform of choice for attorneys, investigators, and insurers. It now offers advanced features like automated deposition summaries and medical records review, helping professionals save time, cut costs, and win more cases.
Technology That Transforms Depositions
Parrot has emerged as a standout in legal tech for its advanced deposition tools, including live stream and instant transcript capabilities, editable video clips, and AI-generated narrative, page line, or topic-based summaries. The platform also offers automated medical record summarisation with linked timelines and documents. Parrot is fully HIPAA-compliant and SOC 2-compliant and designed for security and scalability.
With this acquisition, Filevine extends its footprint into remote deposition services, transcript automation, and medical record management—three of the most time-consuming and costly areas in litigation.
“We built Parrot to empower litigation teams with the speed and precision they need to win cases,” said Aaron O’Brien, CEO of Parrot, who joins Filevine and his team of over 40 people. “Joining Filevine lets us bring our mission to life on a larger scale, combining our product-forward DNA with Filevine’s powerful platform and community of legal professionals.”
O’Brien brings executive experience from Uber and Facebook, and his team adds depth to Filevine’s culture of innovation and customer focus. The companies now deliver the strongest combination of AI, service, and workflow in the legal market, serving plaintiff and defence firms with unmatched efficiency, insight, and scalability.
AI-Enhanced Legal Workflows
“We’re building something far more transformative than a typical feature expansion—creating an intelligent ecosystem for your depositions and associated documents, eliminating the manual handoffs that have plagued legal workflows for decades,” said Dr. Cain Elliott, Chief Legal Futurist at Filevine.
In the coming weeks, Filevine customers will gain access to Parrot integration, which includes full feature access and workflow support. This acquisition also paves the way for expanded AI offerings through Depo CoPilot by Filevine and FilevineAI, delivering an end-to-end legal experience that’s intelligent, intuitive, and integrated.
