Potential Lawsuits to Recover Financial Losses  

Brokerage firms are required to adequately supervise their advisors. They must ensure they are complying with FINRA rules.   

When brokers abuse client accounts and conduct transactions that violate securities laws, the brokerage firm they are working with may be liable for investment losses. Brokerage firms that fail to monitor the business activities of their employees may be liable for investment losses due to negligent supervision for the misconduct of their employees.
