The attorneys at Eccleston Law have launched an investigation into the business practices and investment recommendations of William S. Leavitt and his firm, Leavitt Capital Management, following a lawsuit alleging that William Leavitt recommended that a former professional baseball player put nearly all of their assets in illiquid, risky investments.
Leavitt Capital Management is located in Northbrook, Illinois and William Leavitt is believed to be from Glencoe, Illinois. The lawsuit alleges that, without the clients knowledge, that Leavitt invested the majority of their money into speculative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and other unregistered investment vehicles to generate fees from the transactions. As a result of these unsuitable recommendations, the investors have suffered substantial losses in these alternative investments and cannot access their principal.
If you are an investor and have suffered losses investing in illiquid, risky securities such as hedge funds, private equity funds, or private placements that were recommended by William Leavitt and/or Leavitt Capital Management, please call our attorneys at 312-332-0000 to discuss your recovery options.
