FINRA Rule 8210 requires a stockbroker or other registered person of the request to provide documents or information <em>\u201cwith respect to any matter in [an] investigation, complaint, examination or proceeding.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The subject matter of a FINRA investigation or inquiry can include almost anything relating to the brokerage industry or the financial advisor\u2019s activities.\u00a0 FINRA regulatory rules allow for broad authority to investigate violations of FINRA\u2019s rules and regulations including, Rule 2010 (a FINRA member <em>\u201cshall observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade\u201d<\/em>). Under Rule 2010 FINRA can seek any documents or other information that FINRA believes is relevant to its inquiry.\u00a0 In 2013, FINRA announced in a regulatory notice that the scope of Rule 8210 had been clarified, stating that <em>\u201call aspects of the relationship between a broker-dealer and its associated persons are potentially the subject of a Rule 8210 request.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Securities Arbitration Claims Against Barred Brokers <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Even after a broker is barred from the industry or otherwise faces disciplinary action, investors can still pursue stockbroker misconduct claims against their financial advisor and\/or their brokerage firms.\u00a0 Financial Advisors who have engaged in misconduct or otherwise violated FINRA rules or regulations frequently surrender their license rather than cooperate in a FINRA investigation. In the past, FINRA has barred brokers from the industry for participating in Ponzi schemes, elder financial fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and other misconduct. While a bar from the securities industry can be a powerful piece of evidence for investors pursuing FINRA arbitration claims against their advisors and\/or their brokerage firms, investors should work with experienced securities and investment fraud attorneys to help maximize their recovery.<\/p>\n<p>FINRA arbitration is separate and distinct from FINRA\u2019s regulatory obligations. In our experience, FINRA regulatory focuses on punishing the wrongdoers but rarely results in compensation for the victims. For investors who have been defrauded by a financial advisor or others, FINRA arbitration is frequently the best place to secure a recover for losses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverlaw.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Silver Law Group<\/a> represents investors in securities and investment fraud cases through FINRA arbitration or court.
