Agentis is pleased to announce that partner Jacqueline Calderin has been appointed Initial Attorney Co-Chair of the newly established Standing Local Rules Advisory Committee for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.
The appointment follows Jacqueline’s leadership in the Court’s two-year initiative to comprehensively revise the Southern District of Florida’s Local Bankruptcy Rules. Working alongside Chief Judge Scott M. Grossman, Clerk of Court Joseph Falzone, and fellow attorney Jeffrey Snyder, Jacqueline served as co-chair of the committee that developed the new Local Rules, which became effective on June 1, 2026.
Following the successful completion of that effort, Chief Judge Grossman established a permanent Standing Local Rules Advisory Committee and selected Jacqueline and Jeffrey Snyder to serve as its Initial Attorney Co-Chairs. Created by Administrative Order 2026-05, the Committee will study the rules, practices, and procedures of the Bankruptcy Court and make recommendations for future improvements, helping ensure that the Court’s local rules continue to evolve to meet the needs of judges, practitioners, and the public.
“Serving in this role is an honor,” said Calderin. “The Southern District of Florida has one of the nation’s most active bankruptcy courts, and I look forward to working with the Court and my fellow committee members to support rules and procedures that promote efficiency, fairness, and effective administration of bankruptcy cases.”
Jacqueline focuses her practice on corporate restructuring, Chapter 11 reorganizations, insolvency litigation, and complex bankruptcy matters. She regularly represents debtors, creditors, trustees, receivers, and other stakeholders in sophisticated restructuring proceedings throughout Florida.
Congratulations to Jacqueline on this well-deserved appointment and the opportunity to continue helping shape bankruptcy practice in the Southern District of Florida.
