Legal Answers
1 Questions Answered
Q. Problem with investment group. Need to get money owed but SEC involved. Now what?
A: You should look at the contract you have with your investment group. Most firms include an arbitration provision in their contracts. If your firm is regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), you likely will have to pursue any claims in a FINRA arbitration. I hope this helps you. Good luck.
