Merrill Lynch Ends Relationship with 44-Year Veteran in Indianapolis for Policy Violations

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law 

Merrill Lynch has ended its association with Bruce McCaw, a highly experienced industry professional who began his career in 1971.

McCaw, who had been with Merrill for 44 out of his 51 years in the industry and operated from an Indianapolis office, was terminated on Monday for breaching firm policies related to order entry, order acceptance, books and records, and communications. The reason for his departure was disclosed in a publicly available U5 filing.

With client assets totaling $445 million, McCaw held a prominent position in the industry and was ranked #47 in the state by Forbes in 2021.

I learned two important things working with Eccleston Law. First, I made a friend and ally with Jim and Steph for life. Secondly, and this is a crucial life lesson - if you need counsel, then seek out the very best. Jim was referred to me by a most trusted source. I've never had to hire an attorney for anything. Now, I know the value of hiring an important partner. Meticulous, thorough and detailed in preparation is the best way to describe Jim. Brilliant too, I might add. Bottom line, I would highly highly recommend Jim and Stephany for your legal needs. One of the best life decisions I've ever made.
