Strategic Defense in Complex Securities Litigation and Arbitration
Our Securities Litigation Practice Group represents major financial institutions, investment advisers, broker-dealers, and other market participants in high-stakes securities litigation and arbitration matters. We bring significant experience and deep knowledge of both federal and Puerto Rico securities laws to bear in defending clients against class actions, derivative claims, and individual investor disputes.
Federal and Puerto Rico Securities Law Experience
We regularly represent clients in litigation involving claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (SLUSA), the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA), and the Puerto Rico Uniform Securities Act (PRUSA), among others. Our attorneys are experienced in handling proceedings before the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico Court of First Instance and Court of Appeals, and in arbitration forums such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Defense of Class Actions, Derivative Suits, and FINRA Arbitration
We defend clients in a wide array of disputes, including those related to investment fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, churning, unsuitable investment recommendations, and failure to supervise. Our team is well-versed in navigating the procedural and substantive complexities of securities class actions, shareholder derivative suits, and regulatory enforcement proceedings. We prioritize efficient, strategic representation aimed at achieving favorable outcomes while minimizing reputational and financial risk.
