Have you suffered losses investing in an oil and gas company that declared bankruptcy in 2015?  If you purchased the investment at the recommendation of a financial advisor, the securities attorneys of The White Law Group may be able to help you recover those losses through a FINRA arbitration claim against your advisor or brokerage firm.

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.

If you suffered losses in an oil and gas company that declared bankruptcy and would like to discuss your litigation options, please call the securities attorneys of The White Law Group at 312/238-9650 for a free consultation.
