Practice system
Bankruptcy & Insolvency, run as a system.
Consumer and business insolvency, creditor representation and restructuring: schedule- and bar-date-driven.
The Bankruptcy Code's fixed procedural clockwork. Nearly every deadline derives mechanically from the petition date, and the hard part is posture, debtor vs. creditor vs. trustee, flipping which dates are sword and which are shield.

Questions
Before you book the call.
- Do you build a matter management system specifically for bankruptcy & insolvency practices?
- Yes. It runs on the same MATTER Method as everything else I build, configured for how bankruptcy & insolvency actually moves: The Bankruptcy Code's fixed procedural clockwork. Nearly every deadline derives mechanically from the petition date, and the hard part is posture, debtor vs. creditor vs. trustee, flipping which dates are sword and which are shield.
- What does the system actually track for a bankruptcy & insolvency matter?
- Every stage from pre-filing analysis to discharge & closing, the facts that matter most for this practice (chapter, 341 meeting, claims bar date), the document set the matter actually produces, and one computed read: claims position, scheduled debt vs. exempt/non-exempt asset exposure, and the projected discharge scope.
- Can I get this through MatterOS, or does it need a custom build?
- Both. It ships as a configured practice pack inside MatterOS for solo and small-firm workflows, or as a private, purpose-built system when a firm needs more control over data, integrations or workflow. Either way, we start with a short call to see which fits.
- Do you also handle litigation technology and expert witness work for these matters?
- Separately, yes, under the same practice. If a matter needs digital evidence structured or presented in a US courtroom rather than just tracked, that is the second half of what I do. See the Services page for how that engagement runs.
