Arbitration

Panelists on a FINRA arbitration board cited Randy Anderson's claims of age discrimination when questioning UBS's reasons for firing its former broker. Now UBS argues in a court filing that no evidence of discrimination was ever presented.

Randy Anderson worked as a broker for nearly 25 years without a complaint before being accused of making unauthorized trades by a client who, his lawyer says, actually ended up saving money.

Investor advocates and others worry that recent changes to who can serve on FINRA panels will exclude arbitrators most likely to be sympathetic to ordinary investors.

Experts say that there are pitfalls, rules and procedures that departing financial advisors should know. Problem is, too many act first and consult lawyers later.

Business goals cannot always put clients' best interests first. Here's why even the executives leading fast-expanding advisory firms say the critics have a point.

Former financial advisors accused the firm of filing false disclosures about a template invoice their onetime employer claimed they sent to clients.

An expungement lawyer contends firms have an incentive to tar the reputation of departing brokers in an attempt to retain assets under management.

The giant insurer fired three financial advisors based on false claims about their specialty insurance consulting business, according to their attorney.

In a case with industry-wide implications, PKS Investments argues that a Utah couple cannot pursue damages against the brokerage through FINRA arbitration.

The new rules may slow the deletion of valuable public records, but FINRA should take the issue out of arbitration altogether.
