U5 Expungement Attorney

FINRA may continue to expunge, without a court order, expungement directives contained in arbitration awards rendered in disputes between registered representatives and firms in which the arbitration panel states that expungement relief is being granted because of the defamatory nature of the information. Accordingly, FINRA will expunge this information from the sections of the Form U5 relating to reasons for terminations or internal reviews without requiring court confirmation of the order. If, however, the arbitration panel orders expungement of customer dispute information from any other section of the Form U5 or from the Form U4, the order is subject to the requirements of FINRA Rule 12805, FINRA Rule 13805, and FINRA Rule 2080 with respect to the additional expungement relief.
