Use AI to Find Client Development Opportunities in Bankruptcy Filings
Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings offer a cornucopia of opportunity for law firms. While the debtor typically has representation, creditors may include existing clients of yours or companies you'd like to have as clients.
Speed is essential for outreach.
Enter CourtLink and Lexis Snapshot. CourtLink is the leading court dockets research platform, including all bankruptcy courts. Lexis Snapshot, a 2024 TechnoLawyer Hot Product, is a Generative AI tool available within CourtLink that summarizes court filings with actionable insights.
Recently, Lexis Snapshot gained valuable new features specifically for bankruptcy filings. Here's how it works:
Search by bankruptcy chapter to find Chapter 11 cases across the federal bankruptcy courts.
Save your searches to receive email alerts and Gen AI summaries from Lexis Snapshot. You can add colleagues to these alerts. CourtLink will also show these alerts on your dashboard when you login.
The Lexis Snapshot summaries you receive contain actionable data, including the assets and liabilities of the debtor, and the identities of each creditor. Lexis Snapshot also lists the amount owed to each creditor and their status as secured or unsecured. With this data, you can quickly assess which creditors are prospective clients and contact them.
