Robert L. Herskovits

I have decades of experience handling disputes and investigations within the securities industry. My approach to each matter is shaped by my background as an in-house lawyer for a brokerage firm and my experience serving as a FINRA arbitrator for securities industry disputes. My practice focuses on securities litigation and arbitration, as well as regulatory enforcement matters before FINRA, the SEC, and the CFTC. I provide counsel to broker-dealers, investment advisers, securities industry professionals, and defrauded investors in a variety of litigation, arbitration, and regulatory matters. I am certified as an arbitrator for FINRA, AAA, and the NFA. I am actively involved in the legal community and have served as Co-Chair of the Committee for Securities and Exchanges of the New York County Lawyers' Association. My work has been recognized by third-party reviewers, including being named a "Super Lawyer" for securities litigation by Thomson Reuters from 2014 through 2024. Additionally, I hold an AV rating (preeminent) from Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review ratings. I earned my JD from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and my BA from Syracuse University. I am admitted to practice in the State of New York and before several federal courts, including the U.S. District Court for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
