The Investor Advocacy Clinic provides representation for investors who have suffered losses resulting from broker misconduct but cannot afford or find private legal representation because of the size of their claim. The clinic provides legal assistance and advice to eligible investors who may have claims involving misrepresentation, unsuitability, unauthorized trading, excessive trading (“churning”) and failure to supervise.
The clinic is partnering with the Georgia Secretary of State office to enhance investor education in Georgia. Students are working with the Securities Division by developing informational resources for investors to make informed investment decisions and avoid investor fraud, and also are helping the division’s attorneys with cases, investigating compliance matters and complaints.
