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.

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.
