Disgorgement in SEC Enforcement Actions After Liu
Program Number
Program Date
CLE Credits
This summers decision in SEC v. Liu saw the Supreme Court answer a question that had been on the minds of every white collar securities litigator (and their clients) since 2017: does the SEC have the power to disgorge the ill-gotten gains of defendants found to have committed securities fraud? The Court said yes but with limits. Trial courts are already being asked to test those limits, and how Liu gets interpreted could impact virtually every enforcement action brought by the SEC. In this webinar, we will address: The history of disgorgement as an equitable remedy; How the Supreme Courts 2017 decision in Kokesh put the availability of disgorgement in SEC enforcement actions, which had been sacrosanct for years, squarely in play; How Liu erected guardrails around the SECs use of disgorgement to maintain its equitable nature; and What the future might look like for litigating remedies in SEC actions.
