Chinese Wall – South Florida Securities and Investment Breach of Contract and Breach of Fiduciary Duty FINRA Arbitration and Litigation Attorney
Chinese Wall – South Florida Breach of Contract, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Fraud and Misrepresentation FINRA Arbitration and Litigation Attorney:
A Chinese Wall is an imaginary barrier between investment banking, corporate finance, and research departments of a brokerage firm and the sales and trading department. Because of the fact that the investment banking side, of a brokerage firm, has sensitive, non-public information about impending transactions such as takeovers, new stock and bond issues, divestitures, spin-offs and such, it is unfair and illegal for the trading side of the firm to use this non-public information for the benefit of its customers. Consequently, several SEC and stock exchange rules mandate that a Chinese Wall be erected to prevent premature leakage of this information.
