Employment contracts can define the course of a financial advisor’s career, but restrictive provisions can also create obstacles when circumstances change. Matasar Jacobs regularly counsels advisors during the transition process to evaluate proposed agreements and ensure they support, not limit, their long-term goals.

We review contracts for non-solicitation clauses and other restrictions that could interfere with an advisor’s ability to move if a new firm does not live up to expectations. When needed, we negotiate changes on our clients’ behalf, advocating for terms that preserve flexibility while maintaining positive relationships with future employers.

Our counsel extends from pre-resignation planning to post-departure defense. We help clients understand their rights and obligations, and we defend against cease-and-desist letters or other challenges that arise after leaving a position. At every stage, our priority is to protect our clients’ interests and give them the confidence to move forward in their careers.
