Steward Partners Attracts Reps

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

Steward Partners is an employee-owned, independent partnership associated with Raymond James. Steward Partners’ association with Raymond James allows it to use the firm’s platform and technology in its daily operations.

Although there is a unique appeal for reps to be supported by Raymond James and also have certain autonomy to do business, there are also downsides to this type of model. For example, Steward Partners is not an RIA and some reps joining the firm are likely to deal with certain issues such as partnership dilution.

Steward Partners’ recruitment deal to reps consists of an upfront cash payment up to 100% and up to 100% in equity. All proposed deals are negotiable and reflected in numerous agreements such as promissory note and employment agreements.

Reps should retain qualified legal counsel to review those documents in advance of committing to transition to a new firm.

Thank You from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for us. When we realized this was a very bad investment - we did not know where to turn for help. Then we received your name. When we called you - you were so kind to us and then agreed to help us. For this we are so very grateful. The world would be a much nicer place if there were more people like the two of you in it. We will always remember all the help and kindness you have shown us. Thank you so very very much for everything.
