REGULATORY DEFENSE

Overview

DID YOU THINK THAT THEY WOULDN’T COME AFTER YOU?
DID YOU THINK YOU DIDN’T NEED COUNSEL BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A DOCUMENT REQUEST?
ARE YOU KICKING YOURSELF THAT YOU DIDN’T TAKE THE DEPOSITION MORE SERIOUSLY?
DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH HARDER YOU JUST MADE IT FOR YOURSELF BY DEALING WITH IT BEFORE IT BECAME A FORMAL INVESTIGATION?

Sometimes, it starts innocently enough. They are investigating another firm and they heard that you sold some of the other firm’s product to your clients. They just want some more information about a recent arbitration with a client and the adviser that is now on heightened supervision. Or maybe it is just a routine examination and you think they are just asking some follow-up questions on some of the documents you provided.

What you say can and will BE USED AGAINST YOU.

Simple failures can lead to HUGE fines.
