When it May be Necessary to File a Securities Lawsuit

Securities litigation lawsuits are typically filed when there is a breach of fiduciary duty if a broker or financial manager provides false information ”“ or even valid information that is intentionally misleading ”“ to a client or shareholder.

Some of the common examples of providing misinformation or breaching fiduciary duty include:

• Backdating stock options”“ Changing an original stock option grant date for a fast profit is unlawful if a financial institution or broker does not tell an investor about it, or if the transaction is not properly documented.
• Failing to meet estimates”“ This happens when there are unexpected events that were not accurately forecast by the institution and these events cause a significant reduction in a stock price.
• Earnings restatement”“ It is against the law to amend financial statements in a way that misleads an investor about a company the broker is investing in.
• Investment fraud”“ This includes any type of deceptive investment scheme, including insider trading, market manipulation, pyramid schemes, advance fee fraud or Ponzi schemes.
• Churning”“ This happens when a broker purposely and excessively buys and sells to try to increase his or her earned commissions. This often reduces the amount of money an investor makes because of extra fees.
• Broker negligence”“ This is when a broker increases the risk of financial harm to an investor by neglecting to recommend investments that not only are reasonably appropriate, but also disclose the truth about all pertinent details, including potential penalties.
• Late day trading– Recording trades that happened after the close of a day’s market trading is illegal.
• Market timing”“ Attempting to manipulate future market price movements by buying and selling financial assets is an example of a breach of fiduciary duty.
• Proxy solicitations”“ This refers to a shareholder abusing the privilege to appoint someone else to vote at corporate meetings on his or her behalf.
• Failure to supervise ”“ There can be more opportunities for securities violations and other acts of fraud when there is a lack of proper supervision, insufficient training, or both.
