ShareSecurities Law & Litigation
Chapman and Associates is dedicated to representing investors who are victims of fraud and unethical practices of their stock brokers, brokerage firms, financial planners and investment advisors. We handle a variety of negligence and fraud claims involving securities law.
What is Securities Law and Litigation?
Securities law is a complex area of law similar to financial law. However, securities law requires a different approach to litigation and arbitration due to the additional laws and regulations imposed on securities by agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). A vast majority of securities related claims are arbitrated via FINRA, again, adding additional rules and regulations compared to typical financial, white collar crime and fraud lawsuits filed in local, state and federal courts. The following list is an explanation of the most common types of securities litigation.
Common Types of Securities Litigation
Insider Trading
Market Manipulation
Unauthorized Securities & Trading
Negligence
Fraud
Suitability
Churning
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Failure to Supervise
Broker Misconduct
Overconcentration
