At Paralex, we’re on a mission to redefine legal support for startups.

Founded with a vision to empower startups, we combine cutting-edge AI technology with the expertise of experienced attorneys to deliver high-quality, scalable legal solutions.

Our approach is simple yet powerful: AI-assisted, human-verified.

Our Story

The Founder

Paralex’s founder, Stephen Candelmo, an attorney and technology entrepreneur, is passionate about using technology to improve access to legal knowledge and services.

With over 29 years of experience as a practicing attorney focused on helping startups and entrepreneurs (and 2x software startup co-founder himself), he experienced first hand the importance of and at times the unavailability of legal guidance due to lack of time and/or resources.  

As a corporate attorney, he has witnessed how costly legal mistakes and disputes with early stage companies often resulted from founders simply not seeking legal support due to fear of expense or delay.

With the advancement of AI technology in the last several years, Paralex aims to redefine how legal support is accessed and delivered to startups by saving their most precious resource often critical to their ultimate success, their time and money.

Years of Experience

The Problem We’re Solving

Startups need legal support that’s as agile and innovative as they are. Traditional legal services are often out of reach due to high costs, long timelines, and complexity. Meanwhile, fully automated solutions lack the precision, context, and trust that only human expertise can provide.

Our Solution

Paralex bridges the gap with an approach that’s both scalable and personal.

AI-Assisted

Our platform uses artificial intelligence to streamline processes and eliminate friction, from intake, drafting and reviewing contracts to identifying key issues, cutting down on time and costs.

Human-Verified

Every project is reviewed by an experienced attorney, ensuring accuracy, context, and compliance. This human-in-the-loop model delivered on one single platform sets us apart, combining speed and scalability with the nuance of expert legal insight.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every startup has access to the legal tools and support they need to thrive. By redefining how legal services are delivered, Paralex is helping businesses build stronger foundations, tackle challenges with confidence, and unlock their full potential.

“We empower startups by making expert legal support more accessible and affordable while fostering meaningful connections and community.”
