AI is transforming bankruptcy fee examination. This session demonstrates how Legal Decoder and similar platforms analyze billing data in high-profile cases (PG&E, Purdue Pharma, Toys "R" Us, Rite Aid) to ensure compliance with Section 330 and the 2013 U.S. Trustee Fee Examiner Guidelines. Learn how these tools function both as forensic instruments for post-filing for fee application review and as prophylactic measures for pre-submission invoice cleanliness—and why understanding them is essential to meeting your ethical obligations under Model Rules 1.1, 1.5, and 3.3. Whether you bill $10K or $10M annually, the same principles apply. Discover how AI-driven analytics can become a value driver that enhances client relationships and positions you as a forward-thinking practitioner who proactively ensures reasonable fees.
