Are FINRA Rulings Legally Binding?

A FINRA arbitration decision is legally binding. Therefore, if the arbitration panel rules in your favor, you will receive compensation to cover your losses. Except under limited circumstances, the investment firm cannot appeal the arbitration panel’s decision. 

FINRA typically releases a document that contains information about their decision. The document may contain details about: 

• The parties involved in arbitration
• The claims presented in arbitration 
• The party that prevailed for every claim 
• The amount the arbitration board awarded for each claim

The brokerage firm will need to provide you with compensation within 30 days if the FINRA arbitration panel finds in your favor. 

If the party that engaged in misconduct attempts to ignore this regulation, we can take steps to get their license suspended. We can discuss your options in this situation when necessary. 

How Much Money Will You Get Through FINRA Arbitration?

The funds available to you through FINRA arbitration will vary based on the money you lost due to misconduct by another party. You can rely on our team to track all of the losses you sustained so we can calculate the value of your claim. 

Getting legal assistance quickly can improve your chances of securing a fair amount of compensation. We can immediately gather paperwork and documentation that establishes your losses and clearly present these losses to the arbitration board.
