Published Work on Securities Arbitration
Scott L. Silver writes and speaks regularly on securities arbitration, investment fraud, and investor protection for legal and industry audiences.
Complex investment products are hard to litigate because they are hard to explain. Much of the firm's published work exists for that reason: to set out, for other lawyers and for regulators, how these products are sold and where the responsibility sits when they fail.
