Accountants and Securities Brokers

Morrison Mahoney attorneys handle the defense of claims against accountants and securities professionals in a wide variety of matters including negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty. We have experience representing both individual professionals as well as major firms in these claims, and have successfully defended these claims in state and federal courts as well as before professional licensing and regulatory boards throughout the country. In addition to “traditional” accountant liability claims (such as miscalculation of taxes), we have served as counsel to accounting firms involved in third-party claims for misrepresentation of financial condition associated with mergers and acquisitions. We also represent securities brokers in arbitration, litigation, and disciplinary proceedings regarding all matters of regulatory, common law, Blue Sky, and federal claims. We are intimately familiar with the standards of care that apply to these professionals and work regularly with the best experts in the industry.
