It appears that UBS and its attorneys have not learned the lessons taught by the investment fraud lawyers at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce.
In this latest case., attorney Robert Wayne Pearce secured a $6,138,000 FINRA arbitration award in January 2026 after UBS refused to settle or mediate with this customer.
UBS advisors recommended the UBS customer take out a loan to exercise his Compass Inc. stock options pre-IPO, then steered him into a misleading “risk reversal” strategy and prepaid equity collars that ultimately destroyed more than 90% of his Compass shares. After two weeks of hearings, the panel awarded full compensatory damages, interest, and costs.
This is one of four consecutive wins Mr. Pearce has secured against UBS, totaling over $13.3 million.
