Common FINRA Arbitration Claims

FINRA arbitration is commonly used to resolve disputes between investors and brokerage firms. Claims may involve misconduct by an individual broker, failures by the brokerage firm, or both. Common claims include:

Replace the bullets with:

  • Unsuitable investment recommendations
  • Misrepresentations or omissions about risk, safety, or expected returns
  • Excessive trading or churning
  • Overconcentration in one investment, company, or sector
  • Sale of illiquid or inappropriate investment products
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Negligent supervision by the brokerage firm
  • Elder financial exploitation or abuse

What Happens in a FINRA Arbitration?

FINRA arbitration is a private dispute process used to resolve many claims between investors, brokers, and brokerage firms. The case is presented to one or more arbitrators rather than a judge or jury, and the process typically includes filing a Statement of Claim, exchanging documents, taking testimony, and presenting evidence at a hearing.

Who May Be Responsible in a FINRA Claim?

Depending on the facts, a FINRA claim may involve the individual broker, the brokerage firm, or both. Brokerage firms can be responsible for unsuitable recommendations, misleading sales practices, failure to supervise, and other misconduct connected with the account.

If that section has bullets, replace them with:

  • The individual broker or financial advisor
  • The brokerage firm responsible for supervision
  • Branch managers or supervisors who ignored warning signs
  • Other registered persons or firms involved in the recommendations
  • The brokerage firm for failures in compliance or supervision

Mazer Law Firm can review your investment records and help determine whether broker misconduct or brokerage-firm supervision failures may have contributed to your losses.

What Evidence Can Matter in a FINRA Arbitration?

FINRA claims often depend on the documents and communications showing what was recommended, what the investor was told, and how the account was supervised. Important evidence can include account statements, new-account forms, risk-tolerance information, emails, text messages, investment disclosures, trading records, customer complaints, and supervisory records.
