## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Insolvency, Restructuring & Bankruptcy](https://ailawframework.com/practice/insolvency-restructuring-and-bankruptcy.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | For each payment the lawyer has marked, list the date, the payee, the antecedent debt the invoice shows, and whether the file contains a contract or a course-of-dealing document. Leave the avoidability column blank. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer fills any conclusion. 11 U.S.C. § 547(e) times perfection for the purposes that subsection states, including a 30-day period after the transfer takes effect between the transferor and the transferee. Section 547(c)(2) is the ordinary-course exception in its current text. Section 548(a)(1) is the two-year fraudulent-transfer reach, with actual intent in (A) and the reasonably-equivalent-value path in (B). Bankruptcy Rule 9011(b) applies if these points are later put in a complaint: the lawyer certifies them after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances. A sanctions motion is served under Rule 7004 and is not filed if the challenged contention is withdrawn or corrected within 21 days, except a petition filed in violation of (b). The tool writes no complaint. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: For each payment the lawyer has marked, list the date, the payee, the antecedent debt the invoice shows, and whether the file contains a contract or a course-of-dealing document. Leave the avoidability column blank.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- This table is not the chronology of payments. It is the list of legal points still open on payments the lawyer has already marked.
- Insider status and the “more than chapter 7” comparison are for the lawyer. The table does not decide them.
- New-value and contemporaneous-exchange exceptions are in § 547(c). Apply them from the statute, not from this table.
