Thank you for your interest in Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP.
Our Web site is not
intended to and does not create an attorney-client relationship between you
and Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP. The only way to become our client is by
specific and explicit agreement with an individual attorney at Woods Oviatt
Gilman LLP. Sending us an e-mail message will not make you a client of Woods
Oviatt Gilman LLP. If you are interested in having us represent you, please
call us at (585) 987-2800; we will determine whether the matter is one for
which we are willing or able to accept professional responsibility. We will
not make this determination by e-mail communication. We may be required to
decline representation if it would create a conflict of interest with our
other clients. You should therefore not provide us with any confidential
information until after we have had an opportunity to determine whether
representing you would create a conflict of interest with any of our other
clients. Only when you receive an engagement letter from an attorney at
Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP, will you be our client, and we may then exchange
information freely. Click on the ok button to acknowledge that you
understand and agree with this notice.
I Agree

The attorneys in our group are experienced in representing customers, brokerage firms, registered representatives, financial planners, and investment advisors in securities arbitrations by the NASD, NYSE, and AAA. Some of the most common claims at issue include unsuitability, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and misrepresentation, negligence, and negligent supervision. Our attorneys handle pre- and post-arbitration proceedings in state and federal courts, including the enforcement of arbitration agreements and the confirmation of arbitration awards.
Our attorneys selectively represent individual financial professionals on employment issues and other legal matters, such as disputes arising from transitions in employment and disciplinary investigations and proceedings.
We also work collaboratively with other firm lawyers who concentrate in investment management issues and regulatory compliance by broker-dealers and registered investment advisors.
