The majority of disputes between investors and securities brokerage firms or investment advisors are resolved through the arbitration process. Most opening account agreements between investors and brokerage firms contain a clause which provides that any dispute arising from the agreement will be resolved in an arbitration, a less formal forum than a court and generally industry sponsored. Claims brought in arbitration include negligence, unsuitability, fraud and misrepresentation, over-concentration, churning, excessive use of margin and selling away (when a broker sells a stock which his brokerage firm does not sell). The Grant Law Firm can handle such arbitrations and deal with broker dealers on behalf of investors who have been injured. If you or a client is currently subject to broker wrongdoing, please contact lgrant@grantfirm.com or complete our Contact Us form on this website. |
