Oklahoma Securities and Investment Law
What are Your Litigation Options?
Securities and investment law abuses can take several forms—all of which can endanger your investments and future financial security. If you suspect your investment company or investment advisor has violated Oklahoma securities law, contact an attorney at The Hershewe Law Firm who is well-versed in securities and investment law.
As an investor, you should always be skeptical of firms and advisors who promise unrealistically high returns or “hot tips” that are unavailable to the general public. Inappropriate behavior can take the form of a “company abuse” such as:
- Insider trading,
- Fraud, or
- Market manipulation.
Or, the indiscretion can take one of several forms of broker/advisor abuse:
- Churning,
- Unauthorized trading,
- Misrepresentation and omission,
- Unsuitability, or
- Misappropriation.
Individuals as well as companies involved in the buying and selling of securities must comply with regulations governing the advice they give and how they handle their clients’ money.
If you have a securities-related claim in Oklahoma, you have several options to consider in pursuing litigation. Depending on the severity of the securities abuse, you may be able to bring a securities lawsuit through Oklahoma state court or federal court—or it may be best to pursue your claim through a securities class action or arbitration. You should determine which road to take under advisement from a qualified securities and investment lawyer.
Remember, members of the securities industry must provide accurate information to their investors according to strict Oklahoma state and U.S. federal laws governing information disclosure and investor asset handling. If your financial investments have been secured under false pretenses, you should pursue a securities litigation claim.
