Securities Investigation – Lone Pine Resources Inc.

The White Law Group is investigating potential claims involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended Lone Pine Resources Inc. to investors.

Due to the high degree of risk associated with oil and gas offerings, like Lone Pine Resources Inc., they are generally more appropriate for sophisticated and institutional investors. Unfortunately, because of the high commissions these products generally pay to brokers, they are often sold to unsophisticated and retired investors.

Broker-dealers have a legal obligation to act in the best interest of their clients and have to demonstrate adequate due diligence on an investment before recommending the investment to a client. Furthermore, recommendations should be consistent with an individual’s age, risk tolerance, financial objectives, and investment knowledge.

Broker-dealers that have not done their fiduciary duty or adequately disclose the risks when selling investments may be held liable for damages lost through FINRA arbitration claims.
