Prepare appointment papers for administration, liquidation or receivership
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the appointor's instructions, the ASIC company extract and the PPSR and title searches, the tool builds the appointment checklist set by the Act and the Insolvency Practice Rules, tabulates the company's officers, registered office, registered charges and creditor addresses, compares those particulars against the consent to act, the ASIC notification forms and the first creditor notices the lawyer has written, and lists the company records still missing. It writes no part of those instruments and no part of any first-day affidavit or declaration of solvency — no draft, no scaffold, no suggested paragraphs; on the sworn material it may only index the exhibits, list facts that still need a source and check the form against the court's and the Rules' requirements.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer confirms the appointment is validly made and that each consent, ASIC form and creditor notice is the current version, correctly addressed and served within the statutory time. The lawyer writes the first-day affidavit themselves and checks their own draft sentence by sentence against the deponent's own knowledge, the company records and the exhibits before it is sworn.
