• Securities Litigation & Arbitration
  The majority of securities disputes between investors and brokerage firms are resolved in arbitration before the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and certain claims are heard before the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). The principal attorneys of this firm have represented hundreds of investors, industry professionals and brokerage firms in arbitration and mediation. Our firm has litigated a wide range of securities disputes including churning, fraud, unauthorized trading, unsuitable trading, market manipulation, SIPC liquidations, margin violations, options abuse, employee stock options, failure to supervise and abuse of discretion. We also litigate in federal courts and defend against actions brought by the SEC or Court-appointed Receivers.
  
  
• Commodities and Futures Litigation & Arbitration
  The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) provides government oversight for the entire commodity and futures industries and each U.S. exchange operates as a self-regulatory organization. A significant percentage of commodity and futures disputes with customers, as well as member versus member disputes, are resolved before the arbitration tribunal of the National Futures Association (NFA). Typical customer claims include churning, suitability, misrepresentations, improper order execution, improper liquidation/margin claims and clearing firm responsibility. Our litigation attorneys have the requisite skill and experience to successfully resolve your commodity and futures disputes.
