Securities law is legislation that regulates the issuance and selling of securities, another name for stocks, bonds, and other investments.
Securities law is designed to ensure that every investor has the same information regarding an investment. If an investor has information about a security that has not been publicly disclosed, the investor runs the risk of committing insider trading if he or she trades in that security.
The details of securities law are very complex, and you should request the assistance of a securities lawyer if you feel that you may have information about a security that might result in you committing insider trading. Securities lawyers can also provide assistance to you if you think you have been a victim of securities fraud.
