Whiteman Law Firm supports action by FINRA to ban compensated non-attorney representatives (“NARs”) from representing parties in securities arbitrations.
FINRA’s Board of Governors met on December 12 and 13 for its fourth quarter meeting. The Board approved filing with the SEC proposed amendments to the codes of arbitration and mediation procedure to prohibit compensated NARs from practicing in the FINRA arbitration and mediation forums. See FINRA’s press release dated December 21, 2018, for a full report.
This change was supported by the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (“PIABA”), a membership organization of attorneys who represent investors in securities arbitrations. See PIABA’s statement in support of the proposed rule change to ban compensated NARs.
