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
