“FINRA Office of Dispute Resolution” (a/k/a ODR or DR) has changed its name to “FINRA Dispute Resolution Services”. A newsletter from FINRA says the name change “highlights our focus on customer service and helps distinguish FINRA Dispute Resolution Services from FINRA Enforcement for our external stakeholders, lawmakers and the media. The name change also highlights our unique functions and speaks to our role as a neutral administrator of FINRA’s arbitration and mediation forum.”  Richard Berry, FINRA’s Executive Vice President and Director of Dispute Resolution, says the name change represents that his office administers disputes, rather than resolves them.

Authorized by Congress, FINRA oversees over 4,200 broker-dealers and more than 624,000 brokers.“FINRA Office of Dispute Resolution” (a/k/a ODR or DR) has changed its name to “FINRA Dispute Resolution Services”.
