Regulatory Investigations

In today's securities regulatory environment, it is imperative for a brokerage firm and/or its employees facing any type of regulatory inquiry to have the counsel of experienced securities regulatory authorities. The securities regulatory attorneys at Lubiner, Schmidt & Palumbo can assist a firm and its employees respond to the varied requests or demands made by industry self-regulatory organizations ("SROs") or government agencies that broker-dealers and their employees frequently receive.

There are numerous reasons why an SRO or governmental agency determines to initiate a regulatory inquiry. The inquiry could begin with the receipt of a letter requesting the production of customer records for one client or trading records for one particular stock. The recipient of the request could simply be the custodian of records the requester wishes to examine or a simple fact witness, not a target of the investigation, who the requester wishes to interview.

Or the letter could be addressed to one of the firm's largest producers, the subject of several customer complaints, advising that she is the target of a regulatory investigation due to the receipt of yet another complaint.

In any of the scenarios above, one of the first steps that should be taken is the retention of an experienced securities regulatory attorney to assist in the preparation of a response to the inquiry. READ MORE

Employment Law in the Securities Industry

Today, there are multiple employment issues facing brokerage firms, their executives, branch managers and human resources managers (and the employees themselves) in the financial services industry.

At the branch level, managers must be conversant with the current recruiting practices when they are looking to hire a new broker or when an existing broker resigns to join a new firm. If that resigning broker leaves the firm owing money to the firm collection efforts are frequently instituted.

Registered representatives should be aware of the legal implications contained in any employment agreements they sign and what, if any, restrictions on their activity might be in those agreements. During the course of their employment, their current or former employer may file amendments to their Central Registration Depository ("CRD") disclosure history. For individuals, a false or inaccurate CRD disclosure could have a serious and negative impact on their livelihood. For firms, a false or inaccurate disclosure could lead to a claim of defamation.

Compensation issues, whistleblower claims, wrongful discharge and discrimination claims all require serious review, investigation and resolution. Now, more than ever, securities firms and their employees require the counsel of experienced securities industry employment attorneys, such as the ones at Lubiner, Schmidt & Palumbo. READ MORE

Client Reviews
★★★★★
I came to them with a lawsuit I wanted to pursue against a big company. I called other lawyers who didn't understand or want to listen to me. They researched the case and took it on contingency. 3 months later when no other lawyer would listen they got me mid 6 figures. They always returned my email or call me to update. Great negotiator as I would have taken the first offer and they got me double. They are smart, down to earth guys that don't talk down to you unlike other lawyers. If this firm can't help you than nobody can. Michael
