Having to deal with the aftermath of an ugly employment dispute can be a struggle. If your employer has lashed out against you over employment conflicts, get help from a FINRA dispute resolution attorney. 
There are endless ways that an employer can wrong their employee, especially within the securities industry. The damage to your professional reputation is generally what brings wronged stockbrokers in after they’ve finally had enough. If this sounds like what you are going through, a highly trained FINRA dispute resolution lawyer may be able to help you recover compensation for your losses.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) oversees employment disputes and other issues within the securities industry. Your attorney at Meissner Associates could assist you in initiating a FINRA arbitration claim so you can have your case heard, fight to clear your name, and even potentially be awarded compensation for all you’ve been through. 
Why Consider Initiating FINRA Arbitration?Stockbrokers who are let go or terminated by their employer will have a Form U5 filed that details their reasons for either leaving the company or being fired. Oftentimes, the U5 will have damaging and false or misleading information on it that can prevent you from finding another job or even result in your being investigated by FINRA, which is why it’s important to always check your U5. 
This is just one example of the ways your life could be impacted by an employment dispute. Some of the most frequently seen types of employment disputes that wind up in FINRA arbitration include:

• Wrongful discharge
  
• Whistleblowing
  
• Disputes over bonuses
  
• Misrepresentation and false promises upon hiring
  
• Defamation
  
• Outstanding promissory note disputes
  

The best way to protect your financial well-being and professional reputation in such employment disputes is to take action by initiating a FINRA arbitration claim so you can ideally clear your name and be awarded compensation for what your employer put you through. 
The Arbitration Process If you think you are ready to pursue FINRA arbitration, it may be in your best interests to have a full understanding of what this entails. First, you will need to meet with an attorney who can obtain the evidence needed to support your case in arbitration. From there, you will initiate an arbitration claim with FINRA, and they will give you a hearing if your case qualifies. 
Both parties will present their case before a panel of arbitrators, with your employer having to explain their reasons for acting the way the did and us responding to these allegations accordingly. Then, the panel of arbitrators will review the evidence presented and determine if your employer was in the wrong and how much you should be awarded if they were. 
FINRA arbitration decisions are final and are not able to be appealed, which can give some brokers pause. But our firm has a record of success in FINRA arbitration, and it may be your best opportunity to move forward with your life after the employment dispute has been resolved in its entirety.
