Are you ready to break away from the wirehouse but concerned about the legal "tripwires" waiting for you?  AdvisorLaw does more than simply facilitate transitions—we develop a tailored and strategic roadmap to make your practice migration as seamless as possible.

  • "What client information can I legally take?" We guide you through the "5 pieces of data" rule to ensure compliance.
  • "How do I resign from a non-protocol firm?" We build a "black box" strategy to help you defend against immediate TRO (temporary restraining order) filings.
  • "Will my firm sue me for soliciting clients?" We review your employment agreement to find the best path for client outreach.
