Toronto Lawyers Defending Investment Advisors in Liability Matters 

Financial professionals, including accountants, brokers, mutual fund advisors, financial planners, insurance representatives, and others are obligated to act in the best interests of their clients and only recommend products or investments that are suitable in terms of each client’s personal circumstances, tolerance for risk, and overall assets. Where clients believe this has not occurred, the financial professional in question could be subject to a claim against them.

If you are a finance professional and a client has filed a complaint against you, or if you are facing an investigation or discipline hearing, you should consult with a lawyer who has a deep and thorough understanding of professional liability and who has significant litigation and trial experience. Professional discipline processes come with their own sets of rules and procedures that require a focused skill set to navigate. At Milosevic & Associates, our Toronto professional misconduct lawyers are intimately familiar with discipline processes across a number of professions and have successfully represented many financial professionals.

Liability of Financial Advisors 

If you are an investment advisor, clients or members of the public can file a claim against you for a variety of reasons, including:

• Failure to warn them about the risks of an investment
• Improperly advising a client to invest in a product that is unsuitable given their financial circumstances and limits
• Failure to advise a client to restructure their portfolio after major life changes (i.e. divorce, second marriage, loss of a job, etc.) and
• Failure to advise on tax implications of a particular investment.

All such allegations can result in significant liability and serious consequences, including fines, limitations on the scope of your advice, a suspension or revocation of your license, or even criminal charges.
