Law firm targets Goldman Sachs JBWere
Law firm Slater & Gordon has posted national newspaper advertisements directly aimed at current and former clients of Goldman Sachs JBWere who may have lost money as a result of so-called ‘buy below the market’ (BBM) multiple exercise options contracts.
The law firm’s advertising suggests it has been retained to consider the legal position of investors who may have suffered loss after entering into the BBM products.
It said its investigation was focused on whether “Product Disclosure Statements, contracts, promotional materials and advice given by Goldman Sachs JBWere was defective, misleading and inaccurate”.
The newspaper advertisements ask affected people to consider whether they want to consider attempting recovery of their losses.
It says that Slater & Gordon is partnering with a litigation funding company – Litigation Lending Services – in the investigation.
