CDO Attorney Diane Nygaard | Collateralized Debt Obligations Lawyer
In complex legal issues such as collateralized debt obligations, you need a skilled CDO attorney. Diane A. Nygaard has worked in securities and investment fraud for years, bringing exceptional skill and experience to the table for each client she represents. A CDO is basically a promise to pay investors cash flow in a prescribed manner based upon cash collected by the CDO from assets (such as bonds) it owns. While it sounds complicated, CDO lawyers are knowledgeable and trained in this area of the law so that they can successfully represent those who have suffered financial loss.
When investment banks, rating agencies or underwriters are negligent, the result can be losses in CDOs. This means that investors, particularly those in the lower layers or "tranches" suffer financial loss first. When cash collected by the CDO is not enough to pay investors, a competent CDO lawyer can help you recover your losses. Qualified CDO attorneys understand the legal remedies available to those who have invested in CDOs or other mortgage-backed securities and who were misled regarding the liquidity and safety of those securities.
As a reputable CDO attorney, Diane A. Nygaard can help clients determine whether their investment has lost value. There are various signs that may indicate the loss of value, including delay, suspension or reduction in payments or a downgrade in ratings. Many investors in CDOs are unable to determine the value, simply because most are listed at purchase price as there is no ready market for these types of investments. As most CDO lawyers would tell you, it is possible to own money market or mutual funds and still suffer CDO losses, even though you believe you are safe from this type of loss. Although you believe your money is safe in mutual finds that are high quality and well diversified, it could turn out that you were unknowingly investing in CDOs. Deceptive investment firms may do this to increase investor returns, but unfortunately the practice has led to significant losses.
Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse Group AG and Barclays PLCV are a few firms that are under investigation by the SEC and FINRA due to abuse reported by investors. Basically, these firms are under investigation regarding issues focusing on betting that their own CDOs would decrease in value. Those who suspect they are a victim of unsuitable CDO investments should retain the services of a trusted CDO lawyer who will investigate all of the details in order to determine wrongful doing on the part of financial advisors and brokers.
CDO attorneys realize that it is often difficult for an investor to know whether they have been taken advantage of, and also whether there is any way to recover their losses. Frequently, a skilled CDO attorney can investigate to determine if the investment you made was fairly and accurately represented. When you are indeed the victim of dishonest or unscrupulous financial advisors or brokers, contact Diane A. Nygaard for vigorous, effective legal counsel.
