Advising Registered Representatives and Principals
The financial services sector is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the United States. To successfully operate and grow your business, you need to establish order and avoid the penalties and fines that can occur as a result of poor planning and inadequate procedures. Building the trust of your clients can take years, but that trust can be wiped away in a moment.
As a registered representative, investment advisor, or principal of a financial firm, you should, therefore, seek a law firm with a strong background in securities regulation, enforcement, and litigation to represent you in critical legal matters.
The attorneys at Warren Law Group have been advising registered representatives, investment advisors, and principals for over fifty years. Our founder, Christopher Warren, was a successful participant in the financial services industry before he became an attorney and started representing financial services professionals.
