Stop retyping client documents. Start checking ready drafts.
Aretech builds bankruptcy petition prep automation for boutique Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 firms. It reads each client document once and drafts your petition-prep inputs from your own templates, ready to check.

The documents finally arrive. Then the retyping starts.
Your team downloads every upload, opens it, and works out what it is.
A screenshot shows up where a bank statement should be.
Facts typed into your practice-management system get typed again into your petition software.
One transposed account number waits for your attorney to catch it.
A pre-filer leaves, and their shortcuts walk out the door.
Your fee is set before the typing starts. Every hour of retyping comes straight out of it.
Same documents, same attorney sign-off. The retyping drops out.
| Your Prep | Without Aretech | With Aretech |
|---|---|---|
| Client uploads | Opened and renamed by hand | Read, named your way, and filed per client |
| Bad copies | Found at prep, then requested again | Flagged on arrival, then sent to a person |
| Client facts | Typed in once per system | Entered once, carried into petition-prep inputs |
| First drafts | Keyed in field by field | Assembled from your own templates |
| Checking | Your attorney hunts for typos | Your staff check, and your attorney approves |
| Your petition software | Fed by hand, one case at a time | Kept, with every input checked first |
Every fix you've tried still has someone keying in the file.
The work sits between your clients' documents and your petition software. That's the part Aretech automates.
Petition prep is the part of automating a consumer bankruptcy practice that sits right before filing. It runs in three stages, from upload to attorney approval.
Each upload is read for what it is, not what it's called.
Anything missing, unreadable, or out of date is flagged against your rules.
Inputs for your schedules and statements are drafted from your templates and your attorney's rules.
Keep Best Case, NextChapter, Jubilee, or whichever petition software you run. Aretech builds three layers around it, in this order:
The data layer. One record per client across your practice-management system, petition software, and storage.
AI agents. Software that reads each document, follows your written rules, and flags what's uncertain.
Automated workflows. The three stages above, run in order under your rules, ending with your attorney's approval.
We already implemented integrations around Clio, Lawmatics, Microsoft SharePoint, and many more.
Every hour your team stops retyping turns into added revenue:
More filings, same team.
Your current staff take on the next case without a new hire.
A better rate on every case.
Fewer hours per file raise what each case pays per hour.
Fewer typos to catch.
Entering each fact once eliminates avoidable human error.
Files ready sooner.
Inputs wait for your check, not for someone to finish typing.
Prep that survives turnover.
Your rules and templates stay put when a pre-filer moves on.
Room for a busier year.
Bankruptcy filings rose 12.2% in the year to June 30, 2026.
A client describes the problems they had before Aretech.
Before Aretech, nearly every part of our technology felt harder than it should have. Our automations did not work reliably, our intake form was not saving information correctly, and our website had become a jumble of disconnected, “vibe-coded” pieces. We also did not have a trusted resource we could turn to for IT support and practical advice about technology. These problems took time away from our work and left us unsure how to make lasting improvements.
Sarah Rockwell, Aretech clientThe system drafts. Your attorney decides.
Your attorney's signature certifies no known errors in the schedules after an inquiry, so every check stays with your people:
The system never decides the chapter or the means test.
That line is written into your implementation agreement.
Your firm's files and rules stay its own.
Document lists, your naming convention, freshness rules, & other day-to-day operational rules.
Code, data, workflows, and documentation, with no subscriptions.
Aretech co-founders Pratyush Raman (CEO) and Jihad Iqbal (CTO) lead the team that builds your petition-prep system. That team has deployed AI systems inside organizations like Amazon, MIT, and Y Combinator-backed startups. The workflows are built alongside a team of practicing attorneys with over 25 years of experience.
Bankruptcy petition prep automation fits your firm if:
It isn't built for petition preparers, self-represented filers, firms outside consumer bankruptcy, or large multi-practice firms.
