As bankruptcy law becomes more complex with tighter deadlines, many U.S. law firms are starting to look to legal process outsourcing (LPO) vendors to help with bankruptcy document drafting. With sensitive filings and important compliance, law firms typically don’t look to just any outsourcing vendor, but rather a specialized partner who has a firm understanding of both the urgency and complex details associated with bankruptcy law.
At GSB LPO Services, we have helped law firms across the U.S. improve their bankruptcy processes with fast, accurate, and secure document services. Here are the main things law firms are looking for, and how GSB LPO fits the bill.
- Specialized Expertise in Bankruptcy Document Drafting: Companies expect their outsourcing partner to have significant and relevant experience, especially in complicated areas like Chapter 11 reorganization plans, Chapter 13 schedules, adversary complaints, motions, and proofs of claim.
At GSB LPO Services: We have a team of trained legal professionals experienced in U.S. bankruptcy law. We have generated thousands of case specific documents that enhance jurisdictional preferences and trustee guidelines and post-petition practices. Whether it be a first petition or a last-minute plan amendment, our team ensures the documents meets both federal and local requirements.
- Fast Turnaround with Guaranteed SLAs: Timing is critical when it comes to bankruptcy issues. Banks and law firms need partners who can consistently perform on short notice without sacrificing quality.
At GSB LPO Services: We will have articulated Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and turnaround times as short as 24 hours for most filings, with same-day turnaround for urgent filings. We operate in a structured workflow that does not rely on “cramming” during busy periods, and we guarantee timely turnaround even when we have many filings.
- Transparent and Scalable Pricing: Cost couldn’t be improved to outsource, however, law firms also value pricing that is transparent so that they understand how much to expect to pay.
Pricing for GSB includes:
– $15/hr
-flat fee for bundles (e.g., a full Chapter 13 set)
-monthly retainer for firms that have high volume and need ongoing support
This means you have the flexibility to choose the model that best fits your budget and your caseload.
- Ironclad Confidentiality and Data Security: Bankruptcy filings will routinely contain sensitive and private financial and personal information. Law firms must be confident that their outsourced partner has the most stringent data protection protocols in place.
