Employment Attorneys for Broker Transition Contract Review

In the modern world of broker recruiting, take advantage of the fact that all deals are negotiable. Have an experienced employment attorney from Eccleston Law on your side to review the contract terms that the firm’s lawyer has drafted to protect his/her one and only client – the firm.

“I never have had a client ask me for a refund of the $2,500 fixed fee to review the deal.
That’s because the value of our legal services is a no-brainer.”

- Jim Eccleston

If the regulators are after you, and are trying to make a case against you, and you are going to contest their allegations against you, make sure you have the best securities industry defense lawyers, Eccleston Law Firm. My case was spun into a combination of penalties including fines, cash settlements, CE courses and suspension. They were the best I have seen in action. When all was said and done, they had done their magic, my situation was negotiated and settled with a simple "letter of caution" and a case closed without action. It is the most important legal business decision you will ever make, make it Eccleston Law.
