If you’ve been terminated, AdvisorLaw will interface with regulators upon your termination and escort your application through the registration process to provide you with the best chance for a good outcome.
AdvisorLaw suggests that a typical RIA takes approximately 8-12 weeks to form. However, there are multiple factors that may speed up or slow down the process.
RIA registration is private, and the information will be unavailable to your current firm. AdvisorLaw will leave your RIA launch date open until you resign, and we’ll make your new firm effective the following day, to avoid overlapping employment.
AdvisorLaw clients range from solo-shops to medium-sized RIAs.
Yes. AdvisorLaw compliance teams include both certified compliance experts and securities attorneys. As your AdvisorLaw RIA compliance team will include both a compliance expert and a securities attorney, we are able to replace your current law firm for all regulatory matters. We will never tell you that you must consult with an outside attorney in order to verify our advice. We draft all RIA documents, such as contracts and buy-sell agreements, as well as litigation services, regulatory defense, disclosure expungement, lien resolution, practice valuations, lending, and M&A documents.
No. Our ongoing RIA compliance is done at a flat rate, which includes year-round attorney consultation. We would rather make small, preventative changes to your compliance than put your firm at risk of an audit
Our team has moved over $1 billion in M&A transactions.
