The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the SEC’s ability to obtain disgorgement in enforcement cases. However, the decision also put limits on how much disgorgement can be obtained. The Supreme Court held that the SEC can obtain disgorgement of ill-gotten gains in federal court, but the disgorgement cannot exceed the defendant’s net profit from the scheme. In the Opinion, the Supreme Court found that “legitimate expenses” could be deducted from net profit when calculating disgorgement.
I learned two important things working with Eccleston Law. First, I made a friend and ally with Jim and Steph for life. Secondly, and this is a crucial life lesson - if you need counsel, then seek out the very best. Jim was referred to me by a most trusted source. I've never had to hire an attorney for anything. Now, I know the value of hiring an important partner. Meticulous, thorough and detailed in preparation is the best way to describe Jim. Brilliant too, I might add. Bottom line, I would highly highly recommend Jim and Stephany for your legal needs. One of the best life decisions I've ever made.
