Have you suffered losses investing in an oil and gas company that declared bankruptcy in 2015?

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms may have for recommending investments in these companies. Oil and gas investments are often speculative in nature. Additionally, brokerage firms are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment it recommends and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable in light of the investor’s age, investment experience, net worth, income, and investment objectives.
If a financial advisor or brokerage firm fails to perform adequate due diligence or makes an unsuitable investment recommendation, they can be held responsible for any losses through a FINRA arbitration claim.
