FINANCIAL ADVISOR IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL WHO CAN BE HELD LIABLE IN TORT BASED UPON A CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP.

The First Department noted that a “financial advisor” is not a professional who may be liable in tort based upon a contract:

While “[p]rofessionals … may be subject to tort liability for failure to exercise reasonable care, irrespective of their contractual duties” … , a financial advisor … is not a “professional” … . Thus, any duty owed by the … defendants to render financial advisory services to plaintiff in a competent manner must arise out of a contract. Indeed, the complaint alleges that plaintiff “retained” the … defendants and that [defendant] “agreed to act as [his] financial advisor” … . However, “claims based on negligent or grossly negligent performance of a contract are not cognizable” … . Starr v Fuoco Group LLP, 2016 NY Slip Op 02143, 1st Dept 3-24-16
