Wells Fargo Advisors has been ordered by a California appeals court to pay $915,000 in legal fees to Stifel Nicolaus & Co. and Stifel broker Chris Nielson. An arbitration panel last year ordered Wells Fargo to pay the fees, which stemmed from an unsuccessful raiding claim that A.G. Edwards Inc. brought against Mr. Nielson and Stifel in 2007.
