Trusted RIA Compliance Guidance

I had a specific legal issue that was of significant importance to our firm, and a sensitive matter where there was disagreement about what was required from a compliance standpoint. My RIA Lawyer quickly wrote a powerful “second opinion” memo on the topic that led to the resolution of the issue. I could not have been more pleased with their work.

Will Carter

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!

Caleb Anderson

Excellent support for independent RIAs seeking the latest compliance support on both SEC and state rules.

Brett Janis

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!

Nicholas Chiricosta

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.

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.“
