BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 17, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities law firms Blum & Silver, LLP (http://www.stockattorneys.com/) and Sallah & Cox, LLC (http://www.sallahcox.com/) announce that they have been retained to represent investors who suffered losses at UBS as a result of losses in Lehman 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. Blum & Silver, LLP and Sallah & Cox, LLC are pursuing arbitration claims before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") on behalf of aggrieved investors, including claims of misrepresentation, omissions of material facts, unsuitability, and negligence.
We believe investors will achieve better results on their claims through individual arbitration claims rather than through the class action process.
