Adam Heckler is an associate at Lax & Neville LLP who focuses his practice primarily in securities, employment, and corporate disputes before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), the American Arbitration Association, and state and federal courts.
A significant portion of Adam's practice includes the representation of financial services professionals in a broad range of employment matters, including FINRA enforcement actions, transitions between firms, employment agreements negotiations and deferred compensation disputes. He also represents individual investors in their claims against brokers, broker-dealers, and investment advisers for abusive customer sales practices such as fraud, churning, unsuitability, and breach of fiduciary duty.
Prior to joining the firm, Adam worked at Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker LLP engaging in commercial litigation, complex tort defense, directors and officers liability, labor law, and insurance coverage work. Adam was previously a secondee at BNP Paribas, where he guided the bank through the Dodd-Frank Act and EMIR concerning over-the-counter derivatives trading. After graduating from St. John's University School of Law, he worked as a Dean's Fellow at the St. Vincent DePaul Securities Arbitration Clinic where he represented investors in FINRA arbitrations.
