New York, NY securities attorney Jenice L. Malecki talks about the types of options cases are commonly litigated. She mentions that in options cases, the focus is on the same types of damages as in other investment disputes: essentially, how the investor can be restored to the position they were in prior to engaging in the options transactions. Typically, an options case arises when a broker or advisor misrepresents the risks associated with a particular options strategy, misstates the objectives of the strategy, or designs a strategy that is inherently unsound. It is under these circumstances that a client may have grounds to pursue a claim and seek appropriate damages.
