United States Eleventh Circuit

Order reversing bankruptcy court's order awarding an adjusted fee for the investment banking services of defendant, and affirming bankruptcy court's finding that defendant's failure to disclose potential conflicts did not violate Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 2014 or harm the bankruptcy estate, is reversed in part where the district court erred by concluding the bankruptcy court improperly considered a reasonable lodestar in calculating defendant's attorney fees, and to the extent the district court found the bankruptcy court had considered whether defendant's conduct violated Rule 2014.
