NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 10, 2024 / National securities attorneys KlaymanToskes continues investigating Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) on behalf of former financial advisors following a court decision that determined Morgan Stanley violated ERISA by unlawfully withholding deferred compensation payments to its advisors. All former Morgan Stanley brokers/advisors who have suffered deferred compensation damages in excess of $100,000 should contact KlaymanToskes immediately at 888-997-9956.
KlaymanToskes reports the law firm has been contacted by several former financial advisors who are seeking to recover unpaid deferred compensation through the filing of FINRA Arbitration claims. In a recent court ruling (Case 1:20-cv-11047-PGG), the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York determined that Morgan Stanley’s Compensation Incentive Plan and Equity Incentive Plan are “‘individual account plans,” which fall under the regulations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe mandated that financial advisors must arbitrate their claims in order to recover any deferred compensation payments withheld upon their departure from the firm. KlaymanToskes is investigating Morgan Stanley’s wrongful denial of its financial advisors compensation, and encourages affected advisors to recover their deferred compensation through the filing a FINRA arbitration claim.
