Expertise in Securities Litigation

Our securities litigation services cover all aspects of disputes related to financial products and investments, including:

  • Breach of fiduciary duty: Claims arising from financial professionals failing to act in the best interests of their clients.

FINRA Investigations and Enforcement Defense

FINRA plays a crucial role in regulating broker-dealers and overseeing securities firms to ensure compliance with financial industry standards. If you or your firm is facing a FINRA investigation or enforcement action, it is essential to secure experienced legal representation as early as possible.

Our attorneys are well-versed in defending clients during FINRA investigations, including:

  • Wells Notices: Responding to notifications that FINRA is considering recommending disciplinary action.

  • On-the-record interviews (OTRs): Providing legal guidance and representation during formal investigative interviews conducted by FINRA.

  • Enforcement actions: Defending against charges of rule violations and seeking to reduce or eliminate penalties, including fines, suspensions, or even expulsions from the industry.

We understand how damaging a FINRA investigation can be to your business and reputation. Our firm has a proven track record of resolving investigations favorably, often before they result in formal charges. We’ll help you navigate the process while keeping your career and business intact.

Common Questions About Securities Law Litigation and FINRA Investigations

What is the difference between FINRA arbitration and litigation?

FINRA arbitration is a private dispute resolution process for resolving securities-related disputes outside of court. Unlike litigation, arbitration tends to be faster and less costly. However, the decisions made in arbitration are binding and difficult to appeal. Our firm handles both arbitration and litigation and can help you determine the best path forward.

How should I respond to a FINRA inquiry or Wells Notice?

If you’ve received a FINRA inquiry or Wells Notice, it is critical to seek legal counsel immediately. Early intervention from an experienced attorney can often prevent further escalation. We can guide you through the process, prepare your responses, and ensure that your rights are protected.

What are my legal options if I’m facing securities fraud charges?

If you are accused of securities fraud, it’s essential to work with an attorney who has experience in both securities law and white-collar criminal defense. Our team will carefully review the allegations, gather evidence, and build a strong defense strategy aimed at clearing your name or minimizing penalties.
