Investments have uncertain outcomes and most investors understand that fact. But sometimes an investor may find that the investee or co-investor or another party is behaving unfairly or unethically.
As an investor, you are expected to bear the risks associated with your investment but you should not be expected to have to deal with the inappropriate actions of others.
That is where can often be helpful. By harnessing our unique expertise in the laws and mechanics of the investment world we can ensure that you are protected against actions by others that violate the rules of the investment world.
What types of disputes?
This part of our practice often involves acting for clients who have invested in private investments and are now facing a dispute with fellow investors or the investment company.
When investments do not go as planned, the first reaction is to seek to impose the damage on others. That can cause frictions between fellow investors as well as tension with investment companies.
Investor protection are measures put in place to safeguard the interests of investors against investees and other investors.
Investors faced with these situations often have rights that they do not fully understand.
What sorts of remedies?
Investors may have certain rights that are determined by contracts signed at the initiation of the investment. Or they may be able to benefit from an insurance policy in place at the investment company.
Investors also have rights under general laws that benefit all investors. These can include securities laws, consumer laws, or laws against fraud.
Once we have identified what protections may apply to your situation, we will pursue the best path forward on your behalf. This may involve negotiation with the other side or launching a lawsuit to ensure your rights are protected.
