How does securities arbitration law protect investors?

Securities arbitration law in Oregon helps protect investors by providing a means to resolve disputes with brokerage firms. Through the arbitration process, investors can recover monetary damages, issue injunctions, and seek other types of relief. Under Oregon’s securities arbitration law, investors have the right to file a claim against a registered brokerage firm, or a representative of the firm (such as a stockbroker or financial advisor). The filing party must include a statement of the alleged harm or violation and the amount of damages they are requesting. The claim is then reviewed and a panel of arbitrators is appointed to hear it. The arbitration process provides a more expedient and cost-effective way of resolving disputes than a lawsuit. It is also a less adversarial process. The arbitrator listens to each side of the dispute and will then make a decision that is binding on all parties. The decision can include a financial award for the damages as well as an injunction against any future violations of the law. By providing a fair and efficient way to resolve disputes, Oregon’s securities arbitration law helps protect investors and their assets. With this law, investors have the opportunity to recover their losses and have more peace of mind when making investments.
