Dec. 12, 2022 ­— Maurice Wutscher attorney Brady Hermann was quoted in a recent AdvisorHub article about a former in-house counsel’s attempt to compel arbitration of a brokerage firm’s claims against him regarding his move to a competing register investment advisor and the possible effect the decision could have on other employees going forward.

Mr. Hermann said the lawyer will likely fail on this argument as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority didn’t intend for “disputes between employees in [his] position to be subject to mandatory arbitration.”
