Videoconferencing Available in FINRA Regional Offices

All four of FINRA’s regional office locations (Boca Raton, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City) now have videoconferencing capabilities. With the consent of all parties or with the permission of the arbitration panel, parties or witnesses may appear at hearings by videoconferencing for hearings held in one of the regional office locations. There is no additional cost to use the videoconferencing equipment at FINRA. Please notify your case administrator at least 30 days prior to the hearing to request videoconferencing services. All videoconferencing requests are honored in the order they are received.
