How a Securities Lawyer Can Benefit You

A securities lawyer can play a critical role in protecting your investments. Initially, as you are planning your investments, a securities lawyer can assist in researching the financial history and health of companies based on their reporting or in advising as to the legal obligations owed to you by a broker, which include:

A duty to determine whether a recommended product is specifically suitable to you
A duty to disclose all necessary information concerning any recommended investments
A duty to place your interests above his or her own (a fiduciary duty)
In addition, a securities lawyer can advise you on the common signs of securities fraud or mismanagement of your investments and what to be watchful of as you invest. A securities lawyer can also advise you as to the many types of claims that are available to investors who suffer losses that are not attributable to normal market forces, including:

Breach of fiduciary duty
Conflict of interest
Churning (excessive trading to increase broker's fees)
Failure to diversify
Failure to supervise
Ineptitude or malpractice
Insider information
Market manipulation
Misrepresentation
Omission of facts
Risky investments
Trading without permission
Unsuitability
Finally, a securities lawyer can represent you in any litigation arising from your investments, to include a shareholder's derivative action, a class action suit, or a suit against your broker. Because many broker agreements contain arbitration clauses, you may be limited in your ability to pursue an action against your broker in court. Because of this, it is a good idea to have a securities lawyer review and explain any broker agreement with you before signing.

Securities lawyers also frequently represent corporate clients in the transactional work involved with initial public offerings, private sales of securities, issuance of stock or other securities and mergers and acquisitions. In this capacity they also assist companies in complying with securities laws and regulations which ultimately serves to benefit consumers. ~ https://consumer.findlaw.com/securities-law/what-does-a-securities-lawyer-do.html
