The brokerage firm that employs stockbrokers can be held liable for the losses suffered by clients if the firm failed to adequately supervise the brokers' activities. Most of these claims are required to be pursued through mandatory FINRA arbitration. Our law firm has certainly experienced a dramatic increase is these types of cases over the past couple of years. Within the just the last few months, we successfully settled the claims of over 50 clients in disputes against the brokerage firm that employed the broker who stole our clients' money.
