Update: Legacy Reserves LP

Legacy Reserves LP Investment Losses

Have you suffered losses investing in Legacy Reserves LP MLP? If so, the securities attorneys of The White Law Group may be able to help.

Legacy Reserves LP (Legacy) is a master limited partnership company focused on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties located in the Permian Basin, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions of the United States.

A Master Limited Partnership (MLP) is a type of limited partnership that is publicly traded. MLP’s receive the same tax benefits of a limited partnership combined with the liquidity of a publically traded security. In order to be classified as an MLP the partnership must receive 90% of its cash flow from a “qualifying source” – such as real estate, natural resources or commodities.

MLP’s are extremely complex and risky. They are only suitable for wealthy, sophisticated retail investors or institutional investors.

The White Law Group continues to investigate the liability that brokerage firms may have for recommending oil and gas MLPs like Legacy Reserve LP.

Brokerage firms that sell such products are required to perform adequate due diligence on the investments to ensure a reasonable likelihood of success, and to evaluate whether the investments are suitable in light of the client’s age, net worth, investment experience, and investment objectives. Firms that fail to perform adequate due diligence, or that make unsuitable recommendations, can be held responsible for losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
