Defending Against Claims of Financial Institution Malfeasance
Hindsight, as the saying goes, is 20/20. When investments go bad, many investors turn to financial professionals such as broker-dealers, financial advisers and insurance agents and ask why they were sold or advised to buy products that did not produce the expected return.
Our attorneys provide financial institutions - including clearinghouses - with effective defense representation in litigation over allegations such as the following:
- Suitability of investment claims (excessive risk for category of investor, etc.)
- Breach of fiduciary duty claims (mishandling of investors' funds, etc.)
- Conflict of interest claims (failure to disclose interests, self-dealing, etc.)
Many financial contracts contain arbitration provisions. The lawyers at our firm are experienced at providing our financial institution clients with defense representation before both judges and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitrators.
Our firm has extensive experience representing businesses and professionals in the area of financial institution defense. To discuss what we can do to protect your bottom line from investor lawsuits, please contact us to schedule a consultation.
