Three Former J.P. Morgan Advisors Prevail In $3 Million Transition Dispute

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law:

A Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration panel has denied J.P. Morgan’s claims against three former advisors who allegedly had violated their non-solicitation agreements while transferring to a new firm. 

J.P. Morgan was seeking nearly $3 million in damages against the former advisors. 

The Chicago-based arbitrators ruled in favor of the advisors after 10 hearing sessions, and J.P. Morgan was ordered to cover the $14,625 bill for the dispute.

If the regulators are after you, and are trying to make a case against you, and you are going to contest their allegations against you, make sure you have the best securities industry defense lawyers, Eccleston Law Firm. My case was spun into a combination of penalties including fines, cash settlements, CE courses and suspension. They were the best I have seen in action. When all was said and done, they had done their magic, my situation was negotiated and settled with a simple "letter of caution" and a case closed without action. It is the most important legal business decision you will ever make, make it Eccleston Law.
