Merrill Lynch Experiences System Outage
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
Merrill Lynch is the latest financial firm to experience connection disruptions. Robinhood, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley have also experienced their own outages as these firms move to a remote workplace. Merrill Lynch brokers nationwide were affected by this outage, which caused them to lose access to their workstations. The firm said that the outage was due to an issue with its internet service provider.
When Morgan Stanley experienced a system outage in March, it subsequently reimbursed clients for revenue lost due to missed transactions during the outage. Robinhood is now defending itself against lawsuits as a result of the system outages it experienced. Recent financial firm system outages can be especially damaging for clients, as the market experiences unprecedented volatility and uncertainty.
Investors who were affected by this, or other, system outages should contact the professionals at Eccleston Law to discuss their options.
