Legal Support

Advisor Agreements Designed to Protect Your Practice.

As your firm grows, hires, partners, or shares client relationships, informal expectations are not enough. Clear agreements help protect the business, define roles, and reduce risk before issues arise.

Advisor Legacy helps advisory firms access attorney-prepared employment and practice interest agreements built around the realities of independent advisory practices.

Why It Matters

Growth Creates Complexity. Agreements Create Clarity.

Hiring experienced advisors, adding contractors, building teams, or sharing ownership can accelerate growth — but it also introduces risk if expectations are not documented.

Without clear agreements, firms may face confusion around client relationships, compensation, roles, responsibilities, equity rights, non-competes, confidentiality, or what happens when someone leaves.

These agreements help protect the firm you are building while giving everyone involved a clearer understanding of the relationship.
