About the Fund
The Investment Professionals Legal Defense Fund is a nonprofit built on a single conviction: a licensed professional facing a regulator should never stand alone because they cannot afford counsel.
Our mission is to provide financial advisors and licensed professionals with crucial legal assistance during investigations or lawsuits launched by FINRA, ensuring they receive fair treatment in challenging circumstances.
What we stand on
When a FINRA inquiry arrives, the immediate need is counsel. We provide representation during investigations and lawsuits at minimal or no cost to the professionals we serve.
Fair treatment in challenging circumstances is the standard we hold every proceeding to — for the advisor who has done nothing wrong and the advisor who deserves a hearing either way.
We raise awareness regarding FINRA's unconstitutionality and questionable oversight and enforcement, advocating for the rights and protections of financial advisors nationwide.
