Membership Benefits

PIABA has nearly 400 members worldwide and is the only bar association dedicated to investor protection and advocacy. PIABA’s members have been representing investors in securities arbitration and litigation for over thirty years leveling the playing field against Wall Street. From unsuitable investment recommendations to Ponzi schemes, our members have recovered billions of dollars for hundreds of thousands of victims of securities fraud in arbitration forums ranging from FINRA, AAA, JAMS, and NFA as well as state and federal courts.

PIABA has also developed beneficial relationships over the years with members of Congress, Commissioners of the SEC, NASAA (the North American Securities Administrators Association), State securities regulators, and executives at FINRA. For the last decade, our members have traveled to Washington DC and attended hundreds of meetings with members of Congress and their staff, in addition to meetings with federal securities regulators to advance the cause of investor protection.
