The Law Offices of Patrick J. Burns, Jr., P.C. (PJB Law) is a nationally recognized securities law firm dedicated to assisting breakaway advisors transitioning to independence. Our team works with individuals establishing their own investment advisory firms, as well as those joining existing practices. The ever increasing number of wire house advisors going independent led to PJB Law’s sole focus of protecting their best interests. PJB Law’s key services include investment adviser registration, transition counseling, business entity formation, employment/partnership agreement review and handling promissory note issues. Our firm’s highly skilled professionals provide legal assistance to a variety of individuals, from those with small books of business to advisors with multi-billion dollar practices. PJB Law is backed by its affiliation with Advanced Regulatory Compliance LLC (ARC), a premier nationally recognized investment advisory compliance services firm dedicated to assisting advisors with their post-transition compliance needs.
