Bankruptcy law is a unique area of law that is not forgiving and where attention to detail is paramount. Attention to detail is vital when complying with the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and local court rules. For law firms, especially those carrying out a significant volume of cases, complying with bankruptcy law while deadlines continually loom can be daunting. This is where outsourced paralegal services can assist.
GSB LPO Services works with law firms throughout each of the steps of the bankruptcy process. Our focus is on helping you comply with bankruptcy law without the headaches – providing you with expertly drafted and court-ready documents, as well as administrative support to help you navigate the compliance process.
Common Compliance Challenges in Bankruptcy Cases
Even the most experienced bankruptcy attorneys find themselves stumbling over compliance issues to the detriment of their clients. Below are some of the most frequent and costly compliance issues encountered by attorneys:
- Inaccurate or Incomplete Filings: Missing schedules, incorrect debtor information, or incorrectly calculated means tests can all frequently trigger court rejections or trustee objections.
- Missed Filing Deadlines: Deadlines in bankruptcy court are not opinions. Whether a Chapter 13 plan, a motion to extend the stay, or any other filing, missing deadlines can wreak havoc on your client’s case, including outright dismissal.
- Lack of Compliance with Local Court Procedures: Each jurisdiction has its filing protocol. What is acceptable in one court may not be acceptable in another court, particularly regarding formatting, trustee requirements, and local forms.
- Inconsistent Documentation: Incomplete documentation to support a motion to avoid a lien or a statement of financial affairs can unnecessarily delay proceedings or invite frivolous litigation.
- Incomplete Record Keeping: Bankruptcy filings require an auditable paper trail. If your documentation protocols lack strong version control, it can be virtually impossible to summarize the edits made, date each version, and get proper approvals—this increases compliance risk.
How Trained Paralegals Ensure Accurate Documentation
Outsourced paralegals do not simply alleviate your administrative burden; rather, they protect your practice by being your first line of defence for compliance.
Here is how the GSB LPO paralegal teams provide compliance support:
- Bankruptcy-Related Knowledge Specialists: All of our paralegals are trained on Chapters 7, 11, and 13. They know the legalities behind everything from the date of the initial petition that failed in bankruptcy court to post-confirmation modifications.
- Updating U.S. Bankruptcy Code and Federal Rules: We review each document for accuracy in law citations, and we are sure not to use law citations from outdated law references or any other comments when we seek to have a document completed.
- Precision in Form Preparation: From the means test to the creditor matrix to the confirmation plan, our paralegals check every number, every document, and every form separately, perhaps not everyone’s definition of accuracy.
- Cross-Jurisdictional Compliance: The paralegal teams can prepare documents for matters that arise in the United States because we tailor the service provided to specific local courts, trustees, and standards.
- Technology-Defined Accuracy: GSB LPO has the ability to check every document with the help of a secure document management system with checklists, version controls, and deadline tracking. Although it is tough to have anything perfect, we can minimize the potential for errors.
The GSB Advantage: A Compliance-Focused Outsourcing Team
Here is how GSB LPO Services provides a complete solution to ensure your compliance with bankruptcy law:
- Total Quality Control: Every document goes through a three-tiered review process: first, the document is drafted by a trained paralegal; second, it is reviewed by a peer; third, it is approved by a senior quality control expert.
- Document Tracking and Audit Trail: Every edit, every comment, and every approval is recorded. You are so organized and compliant that you have a full compliance record at your fingertips in the event of a court inquiry.
- Calendar Compliance Monitoring: We monitor your calendar on a proactive basis. For each case, we flag upcoming court dates, deadlines for responses, and filing deadlines so you do not miss anything.
- Quick Changes and Amendments: You have a follow-up meeting with a creditor, followed by the creditor objecting to the proposed plan, or the trustee does a review with recommendations for changes and follow-ups? We are prepared for that. GSB can process amendments and changes quickly, in many cases within hours, so you are responsive and compliant without causing you additional work.
- Data Security and Confidential Information: Your GSB team is trained in HIPAA, GDPR, and ABA ethical guidelines. We are ISO 27001–certified and use end-to-end encryption, holding your clients’ confidential information safely at all times.
