In recent years, bankruptcy cases in the United States have dramatically increased. Factors such as economic uncertainty, rising interest rates, and regulatory changes have put more individuals and businesses in debt and looking for debt relief. While this increase in filings creates opportunities for law firms, it can also create significant challenges: too many cases, looming deadlines, increasing overhead expenses, and constant pressure to stay compliant.
Many law firms are realizing that their current case management operations are not built for this many cases. This is why bankruptcy case management solutions are becoming more appealing for firms, specifically teaming with experts such as GSB LPO Services, to stay competitive, compliant, and profitable.
Let us further explore why bankruptcy case management solutions that are scalable are more necessity than an option, and how GSB LPO Services can help your bankruptcy business.
The Growing Challenge: Bankruptcy Workloads Are Exploding
With Chapter 7’s and Chapter 13’s filings continuing a year-on-year increase through three years from 2023 to 2025; and the American Bankruptcy Institute reporting – in two years’ time consumer bankruptcies are up by over 16%, and business bankruptcies are increasing even faster.
This means there will be more:
- Intake meetings
- Petition drafting
- Updates to the Creditor Matrix
- Means testing
- Filing plans and plan modifications
- Communications with the court
- Keeping up with compliance
When firms double their caseload, they often experience backlogs – missing deadlines, errors in filings, rushed petitions, and burnout from the lawyers and paralegals. Bringing on staff can help but it is expensive, slow, and a firm cannot be flexible to decreases in demand later.
What firms need now is a scalable solution that can grow (and shrink) at a moment’s notice with their bankruptcy docket.
What Are Bankruptcy Case Management Solutions?
Bankruptcy case management solutions utilize technology, expert support services, and process optimization to enable law firms to:
- Process a high volume of cases efficiently
- Ensure unprecedented compliance with local rules and federal standards
- Increase client satisfaction by filing faster and with less chance of errors
- Reduce their overhead really, really fast
A complete bankruptcy case management solution includes:
1.) Automated intake, calendar, and document preparation software
2.) Paralegal support for drafting petitions fee schedules, plans, and motions
3.) Automated compliance checks to prevent trustee objections and court rejections
4.) Real-time oversight of filing deadlines and events in the case
5.) Available resourcing to scale up or down as needed based on your caseload
Instead of stretching your internal team to the max, you put in place an on-demand engine that works silently behind the scenes, and accelerates your overall throughput without raising fixed costs.
