Why Consider Filing a Securities Lawsuit

An investor may consider filing a lawsuit to regain damages after falling victim to securities fraud. This type of financial misconduct usually happens when a broker, corporate insider or financial company is purposely deceptive about certain stock trading practices. Other incidents of financial harm may occur if an institution fails to fully disclose accurate information to a customer about his or her investments in an attempt to influence a transaction decision.

Common Types of Securities Litigation Cases

Our licensed Glendale securities litigation attorneys are prepared to handle a variety of securities litigation cases. Some of the most common include:

• Backdating stock options”“ The practice of modifying the original stock option grant date to make a quick profit is illegal if an investor is not informed about it, or when the transaction is not properly documented in company financial statements or tax records.
• Broker Negligence”“ Failure of a broker to responsibly recommend a reasonably appropriate investment that increases the potential of financial harm to the client.
• Investment fraud”“ Types of investment fraud may include insider trading, Ponzi schemes, Pyramid schemes, market manipulation, advance fee fraud or affinity fraud.
• Churning”“ When a broker buys and sells to excess to boost his or her commission. This negatively affects a client’s profit typically due to inadvisable trade timing or because of extra broker’s fees.
• Failure to supervise ”“ Poor supervision combined with a lack of training can enable a broker to commit an act of fraud or other violation and lead to potential financial harm of an investor.
• Earnings restatement”“ Amendments to financial statements are sometime necessary. However, it is illegal to make changes that may purposely mislead a potential investor about a company’s financial health.
• Late day trading”“ The recording of trades in a daily net asset value is illegal if the transaction occurred after the marketing trading period was already closed for the day.
• Market timing”“ This popular mutual fund practice of short-term trading is legal, even when a company sets exchange restrictions for a particular fund. However, in instances where investors are deceived or uninformed about actual exchanges that take place, there may be a securities violation.
• Proxy solicitations”“ A shareholder may appoint another individual to vote on his or her behalf at special corporate meetings. In corporate settings, a proxy solicitation is typically accompanied by a proxy statement.
