Job Description

Bankruptcy Paralegal for fully remote law practice specializing in bankruptcy cases and client support. Responsibilities include petition preparation and collaboration with attorneys.

Responsibilities:

  • Prepare complete bankruptcy petitions with emphasis on Chapter 13, capturing assets, liabilities, income, household composition, and supporting schedules/statements.
  • Conduct means test calculations to assess eligibility prior to filing; work only on cases pre-screened for viability and ethical standards.
  • Collaborate with intake team and attorney to assemble accurate petitions (no routine document chasing).
  • Perform rigorous quality control to ensure precision in names, addresses, figures, and disclosures aligned with trustee expectations.
  • Draft and update petitions using Jubilee bankruptcy software and manage files securely via Dropbox.
  • Participate in brief daily huddles; maintain client-first empathy as the "solver" during stressful client journeys.
  • Coordinate original signatures as required by the court; meet time-sensitive case demands.

Requirements:

  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on U.S. bankruptcy paralegal experience preparing petitions (Chapter 13 preferred); 5+ years ideal.
  • Proficiency with bankruptcy software; experience with Jubilee or ability to learn quickly a plus.
  • Native-level or highly fluent English; Spanish strongly preferred as many clients speak Spanish.
  • Demonstrated commitment to ethics, confidentiality, and accuracy.
