NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2024 / National investment loss and securities lawyers KlaymanToskes issues an important notice to former Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), Merrill Lynch (NYSE:BAC), and all other financial advisors following a federal court decision reaffirming protections for advisors under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). All brokers/investment advisors who have suffered deferred compensation damages in excess of $100,000 should contact KlaymanToskes immediately at 888-997-9956.
On November 7, 2024, U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe upheld his previous ruling from November 2023 (Case 1:20-cv-11047-PGG) that Morgan Stanley’s deferred compensation plans are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). This ruling reaffirms ERISA’s role as a critical safeguard against the forfeiture of deferred compensation, reinforcing the protections afforded to financial advisors.
KlaymanToskes reports the law firm has been retained by numerous financial advisors from multiple brokerage firms who are seeking to recover unpaid deferred compensation through the filing of FINRA arbitration claims. In light of Judge Gardephe’s recent rulings, the law firm urges any financial advisors who have not yet pursued claims related to their deferred compensation losses to contact the firm immediately.
