Securities Arbitration 2012
August 2, 2012
CLE - Live Seminar
USA
Description
Last year’s fervor over the fairness of arbitration has not so much subsided as it has been refined. In response to this shift, in 2012 FINRA will focus on streamlining and improving its dispute resolution forum, including fine-tuning the arbitrator disclosure process. FINRA’s goal is to ensure early disclosure of relevant arbitrator information, in order to save the parties the time and expense associated with replacing arbitrators whose disclosure is incomplete, while allowing for the parties’ continued input into the arbitrator selection process.
This year’s Securities Arbitration program will feature FINRA Dispute Resolution’s Director, staff, and arbitrators, as well as noted academics and experienced attorneys who represent both customers and industry players. Our faculty will explore FINRA’s efforts to improve the arbitrator disclosure process and provide you with practical tips on drafting claims and answers, striking and ranking proposed arbitrators, trying expungement hearings and resolving common ethical dilemmas that arise in securities arbitration practice.
