Experience as a bankruptcy law intern or clerk is highly recommended.
Successful bankruptcy attorneys need excellent communication and interpersonal skills in order to work well with clients, judges, bankruptcy trustees, and coworkers. Since they must review and manage sensitive personal financial data, bankruptcy lawyers must win the respect and confidence of their clients.
In addition, they must be organized and have strong research skills and be familiar with the details and changes of bankruptcy law so that they can provide effective representation for their clients. Other important traits include a background in finance, top-notch litigation skills, a detail-oriented personality, strong ethics, good reasoning abilities, persuasiveness, and the ability to effectively negotiate.
Finally, bankruptcy lawyers need to be detail-oriented, specific, and persuasive when preparing documents listing assets and liabilities of their clients and making analytical arguments in legal briefs and making legal presentations to the court.
