Financial Industry Employment LawyerHave you been subjected to an employment dispute that has turned your life upside down? If so, a regarded stockbroker employment dispute lawyer could help you obtain compensation through arbitration. 
Despite the fact that most brokers work on an at-will basis, meaning they can be terminated for any reason and at any time, there are certainly exceptions to this rule. 
Depending on where you live and the circumstances of your employment dispute, if you have been wrongfully discharged or are otherwise being tormented by your former brokerage firm, it may be in your best interests to take legal action before your professional reputation is destroyed. 
At Meissner Associates, we are passionate about assisting wronged stockbrokers in holding their unscrupulous employers to account. If a financial industry employment lawyer at our firm can take on your case, we’ll do our due diligence in obtaining the evidence we need to successfully present your case before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), so you can seek the compensation that is rightfully yours. 
Types of FINRA Employment DisputesThere are numerous ways that brokerage firms can become involved in employment disputes. Some of the most commonly seen by our firm include:
  • Wrongful discharge
  • Misrepresentation upon hiring
  • Form U5 disputes
  • Outstanding promissory notes
  • Retaliation for whistleblowing
  • Defamation
  • Bonus disputes
These are just a few of the types of disputes our firm has experience in arbitrating. If you have been dealing with another type of financial industry employment dispute or have questions about whether you have the right to legal action, contact Meissner Associates.
Heading to ArbitrationFINRA arbitration is similar to litigation, except that it is usually much less expensive and you’ll often receive your decision much sooner than if you were to head to court. With that being said, the FINRA arbitration decision is final, so you’ll likely want a highly trained arbitration attorney to present your case before the panel of arbitrators hearing your employment dispute. 
Once we have presented all of our evidence, your former brokerage firm and their legal representatives will attempt to defend the accusations against them before the arbitrators retire to review the evidence independently. 
FINRA arbitration can often take up to 18 months to be resolved, and it is also possible that your former employer will make a settlement offer once they realize how much you could be awarded in arbitration. 
Nevertheless, when you have been wronged by a financial planning institution and suffered as a result of their actions, you do have the opportunity to attempt to bring them to justice and have them repay you for all you have been through.
