We are well-versed in both courtroom trials involving broker-­dealers and arbitrations before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). We have represented brokers, broker-dealers, and investors on all sides of these matters. We are also experienced with claims regarding auction rate securities sales, unauthorized exercise of discretion, unsuitability, churning, supervisory issues, improper margin calls, unfair securities liquidations, and improper hedging.
