A Thorough Understanding Of New York Securities Employment Law
While employment law issues such as wrongful termination, discrimination and harassment arise in every industry, there are certain issues that only arise in the context of employment in the securities industry. These include defamation on Forms U-4 or U-5 as well as defense against temporary restraining orders seeking to enforce noncompete clauses or nonsolicitation agreements. In addition, brokers who leave a firm early may be faced with repayment of a forgivable loan or promissory note depending on employment agreement terms.
Securities professionals are also occasionally faced with white collar criminal charges such as:
- Securities violations
- Stock fraud and various types of stock manipulation
- Breach of fiduciary duty or broker fraud
- Unauthorized or insider trading
- Embezzlement
At Bachner & Associates, PC, our attorneys have significant experience defending these types of charges in both state and federal courts.
Our firm also represents individuals in the securities profession in their regulatory matters and arbitration issues, including matters dealing with the SEC, NYSE and FINRA. These securities matters may involve professional licenses, accusations of fraud or complaints by investors.
