Law Firms Led by Former SEC Enforcement Attorneys File New Claims Against UBS for the Sale of Principal Protected Notes -- UBS


BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On December 4, 2009, the Wall Street Journal reported that a FINRA Arbitration Panel awarded an investor $200,000.00 against UBS (NYSE:UBS) because the broker inappropriately sold her risky Lehman Brothers principal protected notes.

The securities law firms Blum & Silver, LLP (www.stockattorneys.com) and Sallah & Cox, LLC (http://www.sallahcox.com) are representing investors in FINRA arbitration claims who suffered losses at UBS as a result of losses in Lehman principal protected notes and Lehman preferred shares. These securities were typically recommended as safe investments. However, many investors allege they were not warned of the risk and suffered extraordinary losses as a result.
