Oklahoma Securities and Investment Law

Our securities and investment lawyers can help you sort through the regulations and requirements necessary for pursuing your investment or securities issue.
In Oklahoma, securities and investment law is governed by the Oklahoma Department of Securities’ Oklahoma Securities Commission. The Commission is responsible for:
- Receiving and processing applications for registration or exemption of securities.
- Reviewing the offering documents and sales materials for business opportunities, takeovers and sub-divided land offerings.
- Receiving and processing applications for the licensing of broker/dealers, agents, investment advisors and investment advisor representatives.
- On-site examination of registrants for compliance with securities and investment law.
- Distributing information via educational forums and the media.
- Investigating complaints concerning the offer and/or sale of securities, business opportunities and land—and taking action against those complaints, when appropriate.
The Oklahoma Securities Commission was established to protect investors through the administration and enforcement of the Oklahoma Uniform Securities Act of 2004 that prohibits fraud in securities transactions and requires the registration of broker/dealers, agents, investment advisers and investment adviser representatives, as well as securities’ registration.
Other investment-related laws administered by the Commission include the Oklahoma Business Opportunity Sales Act, The Oklahoma Subdivided Land Sales Code, and the Oklahoma Take-Over Disclosure Act of 1985.
