The Wolper Law Firm is currently investigating claims against Brad Lawing, A former Financial Advisor at Cambridge Investment Research in Springfield, Missouri.
According to publicly available records released by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), Brad Lawing has been the subject of eleven (11) customer complaints since 2015. This is an exceedingly high number of customer complaints against a single financial advisor in a short period of time. The allegations made in the customer complaints include unauthorized trading and misrepresenting or omitting material facts regarding the purchase and sale of securities.
Separately, in November 2017, FINRA instituted a regulatory investigation regarding Brad Lawing’s sale of shares in a business development company to several customers. After the conclusion of the investigation, Brad Lawing was fined $10,000 and suspended from associating with FINRA member brokerage firms.
Brokerage firms are required by regulation to supervise the Financial Advisors they employ. The failure of a brokerage firm to properly supervise its Financial Advisors imposes liability on the brokerage firm for investment losses caused by the Financial Advisor’s misconduct.
