Mr. Woosley regularly participates in Securities Arbitrations and Mediations and has been highly successful. At trial Mr. Woosley has handled everything from a bar shooting (where he recovered against the bar owner) to complex business disputes.
Mr. Woosley has argued before the Courts of Appeal and the California Supreme Court in a number of high profile cases. Most recently, on March 8, 2005, Mr. Woosley argued before the California Supreme Court that
California 's Standards for Neutral Arbitrators should be applied to arbitrations conducted by the National Association of Securities Dealers and the New York Stock Exchange. Siding with the Firm as Amicus was the California Attorney General's Office, the California Judicial Counsel and the California Employment Lawyers Association. On the opposing side were the Securities & Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers and the New York Stock Exchange. The case is Jevne vs. JB Oxford (2005) and, if successful, will provide an increased level of investor protection in securities arbitrations.
