+ Regulatory and Enforcement

We regularly defend customer complaints alleging sales practice violations. The most common claims defended are (1) alleged violations of the FINRA’s Suitability Rule and the NYSE’s Know Your Customer Rule; (2) allegations of unauthorized trading; (3) allegations of misrepresentation or omission of material facts; and (4) allegations of churning.

These, and other alleged sales practice violations, frequently give rise to claims asserting violations of the federal securities laws (Securities Act of 1933, Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940), state securities laws (Uniform Securities Act and Blue Sky Laws), as well as the common law doctrines of fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract.
