Charlotte Litigation Member Brian Heslin was published in North Carolina Lawyers Weekly on March 22. In Heslin’s article, “Time’s Up: High court protects time limitations on government enforcement actions,” he offers insight on the U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in Gabelli, et. al. v. SEC.
Heslin states that “the U.S. Supreme Court made the right call by rejecting the SEC’s attempt to expand the government’s ability to bring civil penalty actions against financial institutions, businesses and individuals.”
