Financial Products

Have you invested in a financial product that caused you loss?

You trusted your bank or an adviser to invest your savings. But today, you find:

  • A significant capital loss
  • A risky or complex product that was poorly explained
  • Advice unsuited to your financial situation
  • A failure to warn about the actual risks
  • Misleading advertising or false promises of return

You may be the victim of a breach of the bank’s duty of information and advice. Le Bot Avocat supports you in asserting your rights.

  • Tax-saving products that are unsuitable or overly risky

Your rights vis-a-vis the bank or adviser

Financial institutions are bound by strict obligations towards their retail clients:

  • Duty of advice (Article L.533-13 of the Monetary and Financial Code)
  • Obligation to provide clear, fair, and non-misleading information
  • Suitability of the product to your investor profile
  • Assessment of the accepted level of risk
  • Information on potential losses

In the event of a breach, the bank may be ordered to compensate your loss.
