Key Terms

federal securities laws, fiduciary duties, contingent fee

3 terms

federal securities laws regulatory

"investigating the following companies for potential violations of the federal securities laws"

Federal securities laws are the set of national rules that require companies and market participants to provide accurate information, prohibit deceptive practices, and ensure fair trading of stocks and bonds. Think of them as the rules of the road for financial markets: they help investors make informed choices by mandating disclosures and punishing fraud, which reduces risk and builds trust in the safety and reliability of investments.

fiduciary duties regulatory

"violations of the federal securities laws and/or breaches of fiduciary duties to shareholders"

Fiduciary duties are the legal and ethical responsibilities that company directors, officers, or financial advisors have to put shareholders’ interests ahead of their own, acting with honesty, care, and loyalty. Think of it like a guardian managing someone’s money: choices must prioritize the owner’s benefit, avoid conflicts, and be made with prudent judgment; investors rely on these duties to ensure decisions aren’t self‑serving and to provide grounds for legal action if abused.

contingent fee financial

"on a contingent fee basis, whereby you would not be responsible for out-of-pocket"

A contingent fee is a payment arrangement where a party — often a lawyer, adviser or broker — gets paid only if a specified result is achieved, such as winning a case, completing a deal or recovering funds. For investors, contingent fees matter because they shift risk from the client to the service provider, can influence the timing and size of payments, and create incentives that may affect negotiation, litigation or deal strategies, similar to hiring a contractor who gets paid only when a job is finished successfully.
