[Hiring] Bankruptcy Paralegal @EIDLexit

Role Description

As a Bankruptcy Paralegal at EIDLexit, you’ll join a team dedicated to helping small-business clients evaluate their options—including business or personal bankruptcy—when they’re facing business closure or the risk of closure. You’ll work directly with clients and with the bankruptcy attorneys who partner with us to support them.

This is paralegal work in service of a mission: you bring legal-process discipline; we provide purpose, modern tools, and a steady flow of client matters. You get the substance and rigor of a top-tier bankruptcy practice — without the court overhead, billing pressures, or firm politics that come with it.

What Sets This Opportunity Apart?

• Mission-driven: Work in a fast-paced team environment with a clear purpose: helping families and small-business owners navigate the best path forward.
• Pre-qualified caseload: Every client you work with has already completed intake and onboarding. No intake calls. No chasing leads. No collecting fees. Just focused casework from day one.
• Partner-firm coordination: Serve as a primary point of contact for our collaborating law firms across the United States, helping cases move forward smoothly.
• Modern, automation-forward operations: Work in a technology-driven environment built for analysis, clarity, and speed. No paper, no fillable PDFs, no endless copying and pasting. Just clean, structured, high-impact work.
• Zero court friction: No e-filing. No clerk back-and-forth. No court scheduling. No chasing judge-specific local rule changes. Just the work that matters.
• Rapid-growth environment: We are scaling fast, and so is the opportunity. As we grow, so do our people — with clear paths into case operations leadership and team management at a company where the work genuinely changes lives.

Key Responsibilities

• Communicate regularly with clients regarding missing information, next steps, and preparation requirements.
• Update internal case-management systems with accurate notes, statuses, and document uploads.
• Support internal strategists with feasibility modeling, debt-analysis worksheets, and pre-filing readiness assessments.
• Maintain strict confidentiality and adhere to all ethical guidelines governing paralegal work.

• Education & Certification Preferred: Associate or bachelor’s degree in paralegal studies, legal studies, or a related field.
• Substantive Knowledge Required: Working command of bankruptcy schedules, statements of financial affairs, means testing, and creditor matrix preparation.
• Substantive Knowledge Preferred: Familiarity with small-business financial statements, debt-analysis workflows, and SBA loan documentation.
• Communication Required: Reliable internet connection, professional video presence, and a solid remote-work setup; clear written communication for client correspondence and attorney memos.
• Communication Preferred: Strong listening skills and empathy—essential for guiding clients through document collection during a stressful season of their business life.
• Personal Attributes: Detail-driven, dependable, and organized; comfortable managing multiple cases at once in a fast-paced, fully remote environment under attorney supervision.
• Technical Skills: Proficient in Microsoft Office and CRM or case-management platforms (HubSpot preferred). Familiarity with bankruptcy software (Best Case, NextChapter, or similar) is a plus.
