Lehman Brothers Principal Protected Notes Fraud Overview

Experienced Securities Fraud Attorneys

Representing Investors Nationwide and Throughout Latin America in Claims Involving Lehman Brothers Principal Protected Notes

At the moment Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 15, 2008, many of its investors became unsecured creditors. Those who had put their hard-earned money into Lehman Brothers Principal Protected Notes had been led to believe they were even safer than bonds. These notes were sold by brokerage firms throughout the country including UBS and banks such as Bank Hapoalim.

Although it has been more than two years since the Lehman Brothers's bankruptcy was filed, most investor claims are still timely. It is in your best interests, however, to act quickly to protect your legal rights and to have an experienced team of lawyers working to help you seek justice.

Lehman Brothers Principal Protected Notes Claims

Brokers at UBS, a global financial services firm, sold nearly $1 billion worth of Lehman Brothers Principal Protected Notes to investors. Financial advisors who sold these investments most often failed to advise their customers that if Lehman Brothers failed, they would become unsecured creditors of Lehman Brothers. Brokerage firms such as UBS failed to adequately communicate the true risks of the Lehman Brothers Principal Protected notes to its customers. In fact, most of the brokers, marketing materials and prospectuses indicated the investments were 100 percent protected, and failed to adequately describe how the investments would perform if Lehman Brothers failed.

FINRA, a chief regulator of the security industry, investigated UBS, a primary seller of Lehman Brothers Principal Protected Notes, and entered into what is called an "Acceptance, Waiver and Consent" (AWC) agreement, which included certain findings, penalties and fines. Because the findings in the AWC are quite narrow, however, very few investors are eligible to receive restitution. Sonn & Erez is actively representing investors in claims against UBS regarding Lehman Brothers Principal Protected Notes and can represent those investors not covered by the AWC.
