RIA Attorneys

Whether you’re a breakaway advisor, an existing RIA, a hybrid RIA, or a new RIA, you have one goal – to grow your business – whatever that means to you.

Few RIA owners have the time or the expertise to keep track of constantly changing SEC and State regulations.  Most RIA owners don’t know all the rules and regulations they need to comply with, nor whether their program would pass regulatory scrutiny.  This means many owners are left nervous, anxious, and worried about what is going to happen during their next exam. Our team of My RIA Lawyer attorneys and compliance staff consists of securities lawyers and compliance professionals ready to provide integrated compliance and legal support, allowing you to experience peace of mind and confidence going into your next regulatory exam.

We are securities attorneys that specialize in a broad range of legal and compliance services to address various regulatory issues facing financial services professionals and firms. We know only too well what best practices would keep regulators happy and keep the auditors away.

Our custom entity formation, registration, and ongoing compliance services provide a turnkey solution for your RIA firm to catapult into a fully operational business. Our RIA compliance team regularly monitors, reviews, and documents your firm’s activities and developments so you can consistently demonstrate a culture of compliance and focus on building your practice.

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!

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!

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.

What RIAs Should Be Asking Their Attorneys

as a lawyer, I can give you the insights...

We are the answer to All Your Questions.

We Are
My RIA Lawyer

“It’s important that you look at your legal provider and who it is you have invested in to protect your business, so there are a few things you should be asking your lawyer. First, do they know what the heck you’re doing? Do they know the services you provide? The fees you’re charging? Do they understand securities? One of the problems I see when there is a legal action or when there’s an enforcement action, is that so many of you are going to attorneys that have ZERO securities experience! You’re going to, God forbid, a general practitioner!! That’s not the kind of lawyer you want, you want a securities attorney! You want them to understand your business.“
