Assistant United States Trustee

Job Location: Alexandria, VA

About the Office:

The United States Trustee Program (Program) is seeking experienced attorney applicants for the position of Assistant United States Trustee for the Alexandria, VA. The Program is a litigating component of the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for overseeing nearly all bankruptcy cases filed in federal bankruptcy courts across the United States – including Chapters 7 and 13 cases filed by consumer debtors, Chapter 12 cases filed by family farmers or fishermen, and complex Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings. The Program’s mission is to promote the integrity and efficiency of the nation’s bankruptcy system for the benefit of all stakeholders – debtors, creditors, and the American public. The Program was established by Congress more than 30 years ago to act as the “watchdog” of the bankruptcy system, with a headquarters in Washington, D.C., led by a Director; 21 Regions managed by United States Trustees; and 90 field offices in 44 states each, managed by an Assistant United States Trustee.

The Program is the only participant in the bankruptcy process uniquely positioned to address multijurisdictional misconduct or other issues of national scope that give rise to systemic fraud and abuse, while also effectively combatting local matters affecting the integrity of the bankruptcy system. In FY 2018, the Program took more than 30,000 actions, in and out of court, for a potential monetary impact of $2.8 billion; participated in approximately 100 appeals; and made more than 2,200 criminal referrals to our federal law enforcement partners. In addition, the Program appoints and supervises approximately 1,300 private trustees who distribute about $10 billion annually; approves credit counselors and financial education providers; and determines whether consumer debtors qualify for Chapter 7 relief under the means test. In Chapter 11 cases, the Program appoints trustees and examiners, when ordered, and official committees and litigates a broad range of issues enforcing the Code and seeking to hold management and professionals accountable.
