Local Rule Rule 2016-2: Disclosure of Compensation in Adversary Proceeding

Rule 2016-2. Disclosure of Compensation in Adversary Proceeding Any attorney representing a debtor in connection with an adversary proceeding, regardless of whether the attorney applies for compensation, must file a disclosure of compensation within 14 days after the attorney receives payment or enters into an agreement to represent the debtor in connection with the adversary proceeding, unless such attorney has previously filed a disclosure of compensation that discloses such payment or agreement. The disclosure must substantially comply with Local Form 2016-2.

[Effective June 1, 2021. Amended effective September 3, 2025.]
