FINRA Broker Dealer Firms |Securities Practice|

FINRA Broker Dealer Firms

Many broker-dealers have internal legal counsel who are simply not equipped to handle FINRA arbitration on their own. In a recent case, FINRA No. 17-02630, a firm’s general counsel sued a former broker for breach of contract and indemnification, seeking over $326,000 in damages. The broker walked away with over $43,000 in attorneys’ fees – and he represented himself! Apparently for that firm, this was not an isolated event. And it’s more common every day in this business that firms’ legal departments don’t know how to litigate on their own.

Hiring outside counsel, broker-dealers often go with big law firm names, spending over $700 to $1,000 an hour to get results that are no better. Being the “Chief Risk Officer” means finding the best outside counsel for the money. Call us today and compare.
