Erez Law, PLLC, a national investment fraud law firm based in Miami, Florida, continues to strengthen its position as a leading advocate for investors in FINRA arbitration and complex securities disputes throughout the United States. The firm represents investors nationwide, as well as international investors pursuing claims in U.S.-based litigation, most often through FINRA arbitration.
Dedicated exclusively to representing investors, Erez Law focuses on cases involving broker misconduct, unsuitable investment recommendations, elder financial exploitation, athlete financial fraud, and other forms of investment fraud. The firm has the experience, trial capability, and resources necessary to take on the largest brokerage firms and defense teams in the country. Notably, Erez Law has recovered more in FINRA arbitration trials against brokerage firms than any other law firm in history, a distinction that reflects both its preparation and its willingness to take cases through final hearing.
The firm's results demonstrate its commitment to achieving meaningful outcomes for investors. Among its significant recoveries are a $16,000,000 recovery for an investor from a major brokerage firm, $14,200,000 in Louis R. Deluca, Elizabeth Deluca and UBS, Inc. v. Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc., Case No. 23-01288, a $13,500,000 recovery for an investor from a major brokerage firm, $4,200,000 in Puerto Rico Investors v. UBS Financial Services, Inc. and UBS Financial Services of Puerto Rico, Inc., Case No. 16-0071, and $3,800,000 in Oren v. UBS.
In Oren v. UBS, Erez Law represented John and Elise Oren in a FINRA arbitration arising from UBS's sale of its proprietary YES investment strategy. UBS marketed YES as a low-risk options overlay strategy designed to generate additional income. In reality, the strategy was a high-risk, directional iron condor approach that exposed investors to significant losses. After an eight-day trial in Houston, Texas, the arbitration panel awarded the Orens $3.8 million. The award included approximately $2 million in losses, benefit of the bargain damages reflecting the returns UBS had represented would be achieved, prejudgment interest, and attorney's fees of $965,657. The panel also found a violation of the Texas Securities Act. The outcome is widely viewed as a significant investor victory in a complex proprietary product case.
As financial products become more sophisticated, Erez Law believes investor representation must continue to evolve. The firm envisions a future in which investment fraud litigation is driven by deeper financial analysis, strategic trial preparation, and a continued willingness to pursue full evidentiary hearings rather than early compromise when appropriate. This approach signals a shift toward more rigorous legal challenges against financial institutions, potentially raising the standard for investor protection and increasing accountability for firms that market complex, high-risk products.
Erez Law remains focused on protecting investors and holding brokerage firms accountable through FINRA arbitration and U.S. courts. By concentrating its practice solely on investor representation, the firm ensures that its resources and experience are directed toward one goal: achieving justice for investors who have been wronged. For individual investors, these record recoveries demonstrate that substantial legal recourse is possible against large financial institutions. For the financial industry, the firm's success and evolving strategy highlight growing legal risks associated with complex product sales and unsuitable recommendations, potentially prompting more rigorous internal compliance measures.
