If you are in the middle of a dispute with your securities employer and you need assistance in obtaining full repayment for the damage done to your life, reach out to a FINRA employment dispute attorney.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is responsible for overseeing several components of the financial industry, including investment losses and employment disputes. This means that when your employer has wronged you in some way, whether it be through discrimination or other securities-related disputes, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
At Meissner Associates, we are committed to helping stockbrokers who have been taken advantage of and/or had their professional reputation destroyed by their employer. There are many different ways this can happen, but your FINRA employment dispute lawyer will do everything possible to ensure that when your case is heard in FINRA arbitration, you win.
Common Reasons for FINRA Employment ArbitrationArbitration for an employment dispute can seem like a big step to take, but unfortunately, the types of disputes the securities industry sees are far more damaging than most people think. If you are a stockbroker who has been wrongfully terminated or retaliated against for blowing the whistle, or if you have outstanding promissory notes, for example, you understand how high the stakes are. 
Other reasons you may consider bringing your employment dispute before a panel of FINRA arbitrators might include:
  • Defamation
  • Form U5 disputes
  • Misrepresentation
  • Bonus disputes
  • False promises upon hire
We have experience in bringing to light the ways that some employers wrong their stockbrokers, and we will go above and beyond to seek to ensure that the arbitrators have the evidence they need to come down in your favor. 
What to Expect in Your FINRA HearingAfter you have enlisted your FINRA attorney and initiated your FINRA arbitration claim, we’ll begin building your case. Once we have the evidence we need to proceed, you can be given a hearing. This is where we will be presenting the evidence we have gathered that shows that your employer has wronged you. 
Your employer and their legal team will then present their case, defending their actions and more than likely using this opportunity to try to make you seem less credible. Once both parties have been heard, the arbitrators will retire to deliberate. There are two decisions that will need to be made: Was your employer wrong in their actions, and, if so, how much are you entitled to be awarded?
It is important to note that there is no appeal when it comes to arbitration, but it is the most cost-effective and least time-consuming way to go about exposing your employer’s actions for what they are while seeking to recover the compensation that you may be entitled to.
