It currently represents a multitude of public companies traded on the NYSE, NASDAQ and the OTC Market, as well as numerous FINRA member broker-dealers.

“We are excited for these two firms to come together and establish one prominent, deeply experienced securities and litigation practice,” said Gregory Sichenzia, founding partner at Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel. “The strength of SRFC is its team that now grows, especially in key parts of the country, providing added depth of knowledge and overall support for our diverse roster of clients.”

We excitedly welcome Ross and the CMF team to the SRFC family and legacy.”
