Scott Silver, founder and Managing Partner of Silver Law Group, recently returned to the University of Miami School of Law to present a lecture on financial fraud. Mr. Silver is a 1996 graduate of the institution.
The University of Miami Law School is one of fewer than a dozen law schools nationwide with a clinic program devoted to investor rights. Second- and third-year law students provide pro bono assistance to people who have been defrauded by broker misconduct. The school’s MLM Program includes a specialized course of study as well.
Scott Silver has spent over a quarter century representing individual and institutional investors who have suffered losses due to misconduct and fraud. He frequently represents defrauded investors in class action lawsuits and provides legal counsel to receivers and trustees regarding investor recovery in Ponzi scheme bankruptcy proceedings. He has recovered millions of dollars for investors in FINRA arbitration proceedings, served as the Co-Chair of the Securities Litigation Group of the American Association for Justice, formerly called the American Trial Lawyers Association, and was recently elected to the Board of Directors of PIABA.
Scott Silver is also an in-demand speaker and frequently lectures at law schools and to professional organizations on topics including Ponzi schemes, regulation of the financial services industries, and litigation tactics. He also regularly writes articles on securities industry matters and investment fraud that appear in professional publications such as the Practicing Law Institute (PLI), the PIABA Journal, and the American Association for Justice magazine.
