Securities Industry, Construction, Commercial, and Employment Attorneys

Partners John Rich and Ross Intelisano have won three of the most substantial customer arbitration awards ever rendered against Wall Street firms, including a June 2016 $10 million FINRA award against C.L. King, a $21 million FINRA award against Goldman Sachs (the largest award ever rendered against Goldman), confirmed by the 2nd Circuit in 2012, and a $43 million NFA award against Refco (collected pre-bankruptcy). The Firm has combined experience of almost 100 years in large and complex securities, commodities and derivatives fraud cases and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors over the years.

The Firm represents high level employees in the financial services industry in disputes with firms and in investigations by self regulatory organizations. We have represented senior executives, traders, financial advisors, investment bankers, portfolio managers, hedge fund managers, private equity partners, analysts, private bankers, investment advisors, institutional salespersons and top level back office personnel. We help many high-end financial advisers and private wealth advisors transition from one firm to another.
