Preparing breakaway brokers for ria independence

This 10-tip series will help prepare breakaway brokers and financial advisors to leave wirehouses, banks and trust companies to move to RIA Independence via Broker Protocol and non-Protocol transitions into their own firm or an existing RIA firm.

“As a multi-billion-dollar breakaway team, there was a lot of complexity to our transition from wirehouse to RIA independence. Corey and his team gave us great strategic advice, seamlessly handled the incubation of our firm and our employment transition, corporate structuring, contracts and intellectual property work. They also fully prepared us for the unexpected – which proved to be crucial to our successful transition and launch."

Josh Carter, Managing Director, Sepio Capital, LLC

“Veris has worked with Corey and his team for over 5 years. Over the last 18 months, Corey led Veris’ five founders through a succession planning process including full updating of our operating agreements and partner documents. This successfully laid the foundation to admit the first new partners since company founding. Corey was great at both the business and governance issues and, frankly, the “letting-go” issues of the founders. We have great operating documents for the next 7 years and 3 wonderful new partners.”

"Any entrepreneur is going to need a variety of lawyers during his or her journey, but the best, and the most important to the serious entrepreneur, is the one who thinks like, understands, and speaks the language of a business owner, yet has a richly textured legal eye made robust by experience. Corey Kupfer is one in that rare breed, and his insights, counsel, support and friendship during the growth and eventual sale of my company were, quite simply, superb."
