SEC Compliance Services

My RIA Lawyer has three options for RIAs that need help with SEC compliance. These options are:

  • Compliance University – Great for start-ups, small state-registered firms, and those looking for additional resources for their in house compliance team. This is a monthly service.
  • Ongoing monthly outsourced compliance consulting services (4 tiers) where we take the day-to-day compliance tasks off your plate and build your compliance program to grow with your firm.
  • Outsourced Compliance Department with Outsourced CCO (Diamond Package) – We take over your compliance program and give you peace of mind that your program complies with SEC and state requirements. Your outsourced CCO does everything from cleaning up your compliance program to managing your regulatory exams and vet, hiring, and training in-house compliance staff. Don’t let compliance take another minute of your time. Our outsourced compliance department solution takes away the anxiety of being your firm’s CCO.

Trusted RIA Compliance Guidance

E

Making the jump to start your own firm is a big decision. Its stressful, hard work, and you have to learn a ton. This why I decided to hire a professional team to help establish my RIA the right way the first time. My RIA Lawyer’s team is absolutely amazing. They have demonstrated expert knowledge, personable staff, and they have shown us how much they genuinely care about setting us up for success by giving us the tools we need to help others. Thank you Leila and Liz for all of your hard work!

Eric Gomez

The initial consultation was extremely valuable. I definitely recommend speaking with them. I had very custom needs, and they rose to the task!

I worked with Leila as I was getting my new RIA firm up and running. Leila provided expert legal advice as a complement to the national compliance firm who was assisting me with my registration. I was introduced to Leila after I had already begun the process and not sure how I would have made it through without her. She was an invaluable resource and I look forward to working together again in the future!

I have used My RIA Lawyer for filing my Annual Amendments in the past and was very happy with their services and professionalism. Leila Shaver is very responsive, communicative, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend their services!

Rafael G.

Leila is an expert with compliance but she also offers a wealth of knowledge as a business owner. We discussed everything including compliance, marketing, business partnerships, and more. Even though my firm is not yet at a point to work with her, she has sent me multiple emails offering assistance with the things we spoke about during our meeting.

Four Reasons to Hire a Law Firm Instead of a Compliance Firm

and help them understand what it is they actually need to be asking for.

We are the answer to All Your Questions.

We Are
My RIA Lawyer

“In life, it’s not that we don’t have enough time; it’s that we lose so much of it. We waste time on things that can be outsourced instead of spending time on things and people we love. I’d rather pay someone to clean my house and take that time to spend with my children. Our clients are happier letting us ‘clean house’ while they work with their clients. In the end, they have more satisfaction in their businesses and they’re happier overall.”

— Leila Shaver Founder
