What if I signed paperwork that disclosed risks, do I still have a case?
Yes. Brokers cannot hide behind fine-print disclosures if they misrepresented or omitted key risks, or pushed products that were unsuitable for your risk tolerance and objectives. Arbitration panels routinely find that reliance on a broker’s oral representations outweighs generic risk language in offering documents. In fact, oral misrepresentations or omissions are actionable even if the written materials contradict what the broker said or include the information that was withheld.
