Disputes between investors and investment firms or brokers are often required to be resolved out of court through an arbitration process. While arbitration can provide a more efficient and economical way of resolving a dispute, it can also put investors at a disadvantage against a savvy investment firm.
Our securities arbitration attorneys help investors level the playing field, providing the same level of knowledgeable, high-quality representation investment brokerages bring when entering into arbitration proceedings.

Brokerage Misconduct
Misconduct by brokers and financial institutions can be detrimental to retail investors, wiping out savings and resulting in significant hardship. Our securities and investment fraud lawyers have prosecuted a wide range of financial fraud lawsuits. We are committed to providing approachable, efficient, top caliber representation to investors when a broker’s bad conduct causes an investor to lose money.

FINRA Securities Arbitration
In most instances, the securities arbitration process is governed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA regulates both stock brokers and securities firms, while also providing an arbitration forum for the resolution of disputes between investors and people and institutions that sell securities.
