Search 11 U.S.C. § 328 : US Code - Section 328: Limitation on compensation of professional persons

(a) The trustee, or a committee appointed under section 1102 of
this title, with the court's approval, may employ or authorize the
employment of a professional person under section 327 or 1103 of
this title, as the case may be, on any reasonable terms and
conditions of employment, including on a retainer, on an hourly
basis, on a fixed or percentage fee basis, or on a contingent fee
basis. Notwithstanding such terms and conditions, the court may
allow compensation different from the compensation provided under
such terms and conditions after the conclusion of such employment,
if such terms and conditions prove to have been improvident in
light of developments not capable of being anticipated at the time
of the fixing of such terms and conditions.
(b) If the court has authorized a trustee to serve as an attorney
or accountant for the estate under section 327(d) of this title,
the court may allow compensation for the trustee's services as such
attorney or accountant only to the extent that the trustee
performed services as attorney or accountant for the estate and not
for performance of any of the trustee's duties that are generally
performed by a trustee without the assistance of an attorney or
accountant for the estate.
(c) Except as provided in section 327(c), 327(e), or 1107(b) of
this title, the court may deny allowance of compensation for
services and reimbursement of expenses of a professional person
employed under section 327 or 1103 of this title if, at any time
during such professional person's employment under section 327 or
1103 of this title, such professional person is not a disinterested
person, or represents or holds an interest adverse to the interest
of the estate with respect to the matter on which such professional
person is employed.
