California Private Placement Lawyer

Private placements are non-public offerings issued by private companies to a specified group of potential investors through brokerage firms or other means in the form of promissory notes or stocks, most often. Private placements are exempted under Regulation D of the Securities Act, which means this investment product is not required to adhere to all elements of the legislation. While this may allow some additional flexibility for investors, it also yields greater risk. If substantial losses occur as a result of broker negligence, an experienced California securities fraud lawyer can provide the resources and tools necessary to pursue recovery of the loss.

Private placement investments require greater due-diligence on behalf of stockbrokers, brokerage firms and investment advisors as well as the public investors purchasing these products. Unethical professionals utilize tactics of misrepresentation and omission to sell bad private placement products to investors for high commissions, hidden fees or through the process of account churning. In recent years, investors have lost significant capital as a consequence of a broker's failure to properly vet the particular investment. When the responsibility for the loss can be assigned to bad advice, poor research or other misconduct involving fraud, victimized investors may be able to recover the financial damages they have suffered.
