Broker-Dealer Regulatory Issues And Customer Disputes

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is a powerful private agency that has the power to take enforcement action against broker-dealers who are licensed by the agency. FINRA actions can jeopardize the success of those caught up in regulatory or enforcement actions.

Our attorneys, at Paykin Krieg & Adams, LLP, have defended over 100 FINRA arbitration and have been involved in hundreds of FINRA regulatory issues; and have defended numerous regulatory lawsuits/enforcement proceedings. We have also represented broker-dealers in defending class action securities fraud lawsuits arising from failed investment banking deals.

As skilled litigators, we provide vigorous representation for broker-dealers in FINRA matters and understand that a lot is riding on the outcome of your case. We work diligently to protect our clients’ reputations, licensure, and ability to stay in business. We also capably handle FINRA arbitration and settlement negotiations and can represent clients in FINRA lawsuits

In addition, we offer corporate finance services, including assistance with private placements and other transactions. More detail is provided regarding these services on our Corporate Department webpage
