You may be wondering whether to engage in securities arbitration after suffering losses tied to misleading statements, omissions, or unlawful conduct by your financial advisor relating to securities or other investments. Securities arbitration is a dispute resolution forum frequently used in the investments industry when plaintiffs pursue claims connected to brokerage accounts, investment platforms, or certain contractual agreements. Most securities arbitration cases involving financial advisors is administered by FINRA, a quasi governmental agency that regulates brokerage firms. Our attorneys have handled thousands of FINRA arbitration claims. We can explain where arbitration fits within the larger landscape of securities litigation.
Arbitration is not the only option, and many plaintiffs pursue major securities fraud cases in the appropriate District Court. However, when arbitration applies, it provides a structured process where a panel reviews evidence, evaluates unlawful conduct, and issues an enforceable decision. Plaintiffs rely on our team because we focus on exposing untrue or misleading statements and holding institutions accountable for the financial harm they caused. We have extensive experience recovering money for the sale of unsuitable investments, Ponzi schemes, private placements and other Wall Street-created investment products.
When it comes to securities arbitration, it is important to understand how the forum functions. Arbitration typically begins when an investor agreement specifies that disputes must be handled in a forum outside of traditional court. Plaintiffs then present evidence showing how an institution, financial advisor, public company, or third-party professional engaged in unlawful conduct that caused losses. Arbitration panels generally consider whether:
Silver Law Group prepares detailed claims supported by forensic evidence, financial analysis, and internal documents. Arbitration still requires a strong presentation of facts, and our team pursues these cases with the same intensity as traditional litigation. Wall Street law firms have large experienced defense firms representing them, and investors do not want lawyers who occasionally practice in this arena.
Whether arbitration appears in a securities dispute depends on certain factors. Some brokerage accounts contain arbitration clauses requiring disputes to be resolved in a designated forum. Securities arbitration may apply if a fraudulent product or misleading financial representation passed through an entity that imposes an arbitration requirement in its customer agreement.
Arbitration typically involves narrower discovery and faster timelines than federal litigation. Plaintiffs frequently pursue arbitration when they are seeking recovery for losses tied to false performance claims, concealed risks, or unlawful misrepresentations that impacted the investment or involve misconduct by their financial advisor.
Silver Law Group evaluates when arbitration is appropriate and determines whether plaintiffs should proceed through court or an arbitration forum. In every case, our priority is to recover compensation efficiently and aggressively.
Our attorneys can help you understand how arbitration fits alongside litigation. Many national securities fraud claims—particularly those involving publicly traded companies, auditors, commercial banks, or large corporate defendants—are pursued through class actions in the District Court. These cases frequently involve widespread losses across large groups of plaintiffs.
However, arbitration may apply when a specific contractual clause directs disputes away from court. Even in these situations, the core issue remains the same: plaintiffs invested money based on untrue or misleading statements or omissions that hid the true risk of the investment.
Silver Law Group brings the same level of investigation, expert review, and aggressive strategy to arbitration that we bring to large-scale securities litigation. We handle these cases on contingency, ensuring plaintiffs do not face upfront costs.
