FINRA Arbitration Attorneys
If you’re a financial advisor and you’ve run into issues with your current or former broker-dealer, your career’s future could be at stake. You need a specialized, knowledgeable, and experienced FINRA Arbitration Attorney to navigate the process of dealing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. When a firm terminates a financial advisor they need to fill out a Form U5. Misleading or wrong information on a Form U5 can have career-ending consequences. If you were terminated for whistleblowing, discrimination, or as retaliation from your employer, we can help. We’re here to make sure your future is protected.
Representing Defrauded Investors
Protecting investors is a priority for Landsman Saldinger Carroll, PLLC. We can analyze multiple outlets of recourse should an advisor or broker's misconduct come to light. From high-risk investments backed by unclear risks and steep commissions, to unregistered securities offerings or investing in advisors' private business dealings--We'll work hand-in-hand with defrauded investors to ensure protections are upheld when fraud arises. Unfortunately, these operations can devastate retirement planning efforts; so it’s important to know the signs of potentially fraudulent activity before entering any agreement with an advisor.
Employment Litigation
In addition to its vast experience in business litigation and FINRA arbitrations, the LSC team helps its clients resolve employment-related litigation disputes between and amongst both individuals and companies including claims for trade secret misappropriation, alleged breaches of non-compete clauses and wrongful termination claims.
