Last week, we complied the most popular FRT Resources on Shareholder Class Actions produced by the team here at Financial Recovery Technologies in 2018 (click here to read the blog).

We have much more coming your way in 2019 – follow us on LinkedIn and bookmark our blog to stay up-to-date. Thank you for your continued partnership and we look forward to building on our relationship and supporting your shareholder class action recovery efforts in 2019 and beyond.
