We understand how complex investment matters can be, so knowing you are not alone is vital. Our well-trained and knowledgeable attorneys will listen to your case and offer the support you need. However, you must also understand the basics of investment law to help you protect your interests. That’s what you’ll learn in this guide.
What Is Investment Law?
Investment law is an aspect of law concerned with financial transactions designed to yield returns. The firm’s practice covers the areas of private equity and commercial loans in the context of investment law issues. These arrangements are based on specialized contracts that detail each party’s rights, responsibilities, and interests.
Investment transactions can be between an individual and a business entity or between two or more businesses. These activities are governed by contracts and commercial laws arising from statutes and case law. The rules may differ depending on the nature of the transaction and the law that governs the agreement that is being performed.
You should know how federal and state laws and regulations affect your investments. Understanding all these rules can be challenging, and employing the services of a qualified and knowledgeable investment law attorney can help. The attorneys at Calabrese Law Associates have practical experience assisting clients in making informed decisions and resolving complex investment disputes.
When Is an Investment Attorney Beneficial?
You may want to hire an investment attorney before you make any investment decisions. However, partnering with an experienced attorney can still be helpful even if you already own any investment assets. Investment attorneys can help you prevent or resolve disputes.
Here are four ways investment law attorneys at Calabrese Law Associates can benefit you and your business:
- Helping you make informed decisions: Investment attorneys can help you understand your rights and responsibilities under an investment agreement. They can assist you in making sound business decisions and evaluate the possible outcomes of your choices.
- Preventing harm before it occurs: Risk assessment is vital in investment planning. Investment attorneys can detect red flags and help you avoid costly mistakes. This can protect individuals and businesses from unnecessary lawsuits and financial losses.
- Providing a broader perspective: Investment lawyers can explain your options during conflicts and propose strategies to resolve them. They can also help you evaluate various investment opportunities in relation to your particular circumstances. This can help you gain a broader understanding of the impact of your decisions.
- Safeguarding your interests: Investment lawyers can negotiate on your behalf and represent you in complex investment disputes. They can also review investment contracts.
Our Areas of Practice
At Calabrese Law Associates, we help investors through complex transactions and conflicts. We can evaluate your case and determine your rights and obligations. Our goal is to protect your interest and help you resolve investment disputes. Here are our practice areas:
1. Investment Fraud
If you believe you have been defrauded in an investment-related transaction, we can examine your case and guide you through the resolution process. Fraud is a serious matter and typically requires a higher standard of proof, so getting professional support is essential. Our lawyers have the experience to examine the situation and provide legal representation if needed.
Fraud can arise in different ways, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Fraudulent misrepresentations and information concealment
- Intentional manipulation of investment prices
- Sale of unregistered securities
- Ponzi or pyramid schemes
- Breach of fiduciary duty
2. Life Insurance Law Disputes
A life insurance policy can serve as an asset and safety net for your family. Certain policies can grow a cash value, making them an attractive investment avenue for some people. Depending on your life insurance plan, you may borrow against the policy’s cash value, use it as collateral for a loan, or withdraw funds.
Sometimes, policyholders encounter legal challenges. A classic example is where insurance companies wrongfully deny payments to beneficiaries despite their legal and contractual obligations.
If your insurer denies or delays your claims, contact an attorney as soon as possible. Experienced investment law firms like Calabrese Law Associates can assess your case to determine whether you have a valid claim and provide effective legal representation.
3. Privately-Held Company Investment Disputes
Privately-held company investment can be a viable financial strategy for accredited investors. It creates investment opportunities outside public market assets like stocks, securities and bonds, allowing businesses to raise capital through private credit, private equity and hedge funds. For example, individuals fund private equity firms, which purchase stakes in companies as investments. There is no public solicitation of funds.
The attorneys at Calabrese Law Associates assist investors and businesses engaged in investment activities involving privately-held companies in addressing legal challenges. Whether you need professional guidance navigating complex regulatory requirements or resolving disputes, Calabrese Law Associates in Boston, Massachusetts is ready to assist.
