Numerous low-complexity administrative tasks
Recurring tasks take time away from work where the practitioner’s experience and judgement add greater value.
AUTOMATION FOR INSOLVENCY PRACTITIONERS
Improve efficiency in fixed-fee insolvency cases and more complex insolvency cases
Legal-Assistant reduces the administrative workload in insolvency administration.
Insolvency cases involve large volumes of information that must be collected, reviewed, communicated, documented and archived – often under time pressure and with strict requirements for accuracy and traceability.
Digital Engine helps insolvency practitioners and law firms’ insolvency teams automate recurring tasks. The solution is built on Legal-Assistant, our business application for insolvency administration, with Office-Assistant providing the underlying automation engine.
CHALLENGES
Challenges we often see at insolvency practices
Insolvency administration combines extensive administrative work and unstructured information with legal requirements, financial analysis and a clear responsibility to preserve and realise the value of the insolvency estate. This creates recurring challenges for practitioners and their case teams.
High risk if bank notifications are not sent immediately when an insolvency case begins
Risks arise when assistants or case administrators are unavailable at the start of an insolvency case and notifications instructing banks to stop extending credit are delayed
Large amounts of unstructured information to compile
Emails containing claims, bank responses, statements of account, lengthy debt-collection documents, company information from data providers and accounting records must be read, sorted, registered and archived in the correct location.
Many information sources and systems to manage
Information must be obtained from multiple external parties, registers and systems and then consolidated within the insolvency case.
Limited time for forensic investigation
Analysing transactions, identifying anomalies and deciding which irregularities require further investigation demand both expertise and time.
High expectations for asset realisation
The insolvency practitioner is expected to recover funds and realise estate assets while keeping day-to-day administration running smoothly.
Strict requirements for accurate and complete case administration
The work must be structured and comply with the guidelines of the Swedish supervisory authority (TSM), with appropriate documentation and traceability throughout the case.
Low margins in fixed-fee insolvency cases
When remuneration is limited, efficient and standardised working methods are particularly important.
