Lerner has over 33 years of experience in the securities industry and has been associated with multiple firms, including Madison Global Partners LLC and Network 1 Financial Securities Inc. Recent disclosures highlight regulatory actions and client disputes concerning his professional conduct.
On July 25, 2024, FINRA sanctioned Lerner for violating recordkeeping rules.

Lerner accepted the sanctions without admitting or denying the findings through a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (AWC), resolving the matter without further disciplinary proceedings.
