Attorneys: Help Your Client's Business Succeed with a Strong Financial Partner

As an attorney, your expertise and legal advice are crucial to helping your clients meet their business transition goals. While guiding them through the legalities of purchasing, growing or selling a business, a strong financial partner can help—providing financial solutions, ranging from lending and investment advice to estate management.

Add Value to Your Services

A trusted financial advisor who has a team of experts can help you to assist your client in acquiring or selling a business, purchasing real estate, or increasing share in a company. Advisors and their teams can also look at financing options. These may include a line of credit or a loan that can be tailored to meet cash needs without having to liquidate investments, and can often provide tax advantages. Many advisors will analyze the financial impacts of a business transition and recommend estate planning and investment strategies that align with your client's short- and long-term business goals. Your client will benefit from an array of fiduciary services, including retirement and succession planning, asset allocation, portfolio construction or review, and tax-efficient implementation.
