Job Description

Paralegal with expertise in U.S. bankruptcy preparing Chapter 13 petitions remotely. Involves collaboration with the intake team and quality control of petitions.

Responsibilities:

  • Prepare complete bankruptcy petitions with emphasis on Chapter 13, including 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 strict ethical standards.
  • Collaborate with the intake team (who collect documents) and the attorney to assemble accurate petitions; no routine document chasing required.
  • 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; work effectively in a remote environment.
  • Participate in brief daily huddles and uphold client-first empathy as "the solver" during stressful client journeys.
  • Coordinate original signatures as required by the court to meet time-sensitive case demands.

Requirements:

  • Minimum 3 years of solid, hands-on U.S. bankruptcy paralegal experience preparing petitions, preferably Chapter 13; 5+ years preferred.
  • Proficient with bankruptcy software; experience with Jubilee or ability to learn it quickly is a plus.
  • Native-level or highly fluent English; Spanish is a plus.
  • Demonstrated commitment to ethics, confidentiality, and accuracy.
