TEAM / PARTNERSHIP DISPUTE

Teams have disputes.  Some disputes can be resolved easily. Others need a third party involved to help. And some disputes cause partners to conclude, like spouses in a marriage, to go their separate ways. 

How Eccleston Attorneys Can Help

Too often, branch office politics or incompetent managers dictate the result, and arrive at decisions or compromises that make little sense or are unfair. Attorneys at Eccleston Law work nationwide to assist financial advisors who have team / partnership disputes. Considerations may include:

Broker Transition
Employment Matters
Regulatory Matters
Strategic Consulting

Whether it is consulting behind the scenes, conferences or meetings with managers or partners, filing in-house grievance / mediation requests, or filing FINRA arbitration claims to seek a fair resolution, we guide financial advisors through this difficult time in their careers.

Jim, Stephany and the whole team were a God send.  We felt like we were put into a situation where we had no advocate. Jim’s team came in with a strong, well laid out strategy on how to get our story heard. Where our outside compliance company had no ability to help, our Broker Dealer was impenitent, and the regulators were aggressive pursuing vague rules, Jim came like a barricade against an assault we did not understand. Though you pay member dues to be affiliated with FINRA and a B/D, you have no voice. The only thing that is truly heard in this un-level playing field is a bulldog’s bark like Jim’s. I would encourage anyone to call Jim and his team to find a real ally in the tough and complicated world of securities regulation. They are truly the best.
