"Michael's credentials and resume are a testament to his expertise, particularly his extensive legal experience and nuanced understanding of financial matters, which were evident in every interaction. He played a crucial role in preventing me from entering into an agreement that could have gravely jeopardized my financial future, with potential generational consequences. His advice was not just technically sound but delivered with a clarity and urgency that was both impressive and impactful. Interacting with Michael reminded me of watching Winston Wolf from 'Pulp Fiction'—efficient, direct, and incredibly effective. Why hire Michael? The value I received for every dollar spent was extraordinary. To give a sense of the scale, it felt like for every $1 in fees, the practical value returned was over $100—a ratio that signifies exceptional expertise and guidance. This was not just a financial gain for me, but an investment that will benefit my heirs immeasurably. Michael's approach was not just about providing legal advice; it was tailored to my unique situation, demonstrating his ability to adapt his vast knowledge to individual needs. A heartfelt thank you, Michael, for your meticulous attention to my case."

Can an investment advisor change the terms of an advisory contract without the client's consent?
I recently entered into an investment advisory contract with a financial advisor to manage my portfolio. However, I received a notice from the advisor stating that they will be making changes to the terms of the contract, including an increase in their fees and additional services that were not initially agreed upon. I am concerned about these changes as they were made without my consent and I would like to know if the advisor has the right to unilaterally modify the terms of the contract without my agreement.

If the original agreement allowed for the advisor to make these changes unilaterally (without your input/consent) and/or on some predefined periodic basis, then yes, they can. However, if the agreement is silent about changes to the terms of your relationship, or is otherwise restrictive about how/when changes can happen, then no, they can't simply decide to change the terms. The next thing you'll want to evaluate is the termination language of your agreement and see if and how much notice is required for either of you to end the relationship. It's sometimes the case that the change notification you received is really an attempt to get you to terminate the agreement when they don't have the power to do so. But you'd need someone to review the agreement for you to provide competent advice.

Can an investment advisory contract be terminated by the client if they are dissatisfied with the services provided?
I am seeking legal advice regarding an investment advisory contract that I have signed with a financial advisor. I have been dissatisfied with the services provided so far, as the advisor has not been transparent about their fees and has made poor investment decisions. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the contract and what the potential consequences or obligations might be if I do so.
Jonathan W.
Generally speaking and without seeing the contract, there are usually two ways to get out of contract - (i) under the terms of the agreement or (ii) breaching the contract. First, without a breach of the agreement to determine whether you can do this you need to review the contract to see if there are service levels, promised returns, or other commitments that the IA is not meeting. Then you need to look at the section on termination in the contract and see if their failure to fulfill their obligations is covered and what the process is for termination, i.e. is there a breach cure period, is there a dispute resolution provisions, any penalty/fee for early termination and what are the notice provisions. The other way is to Breach the contract which would be stopping performing your obligations under it which I would assume without seeing it are likely just payment of fees. The potential consequences of breaching a contract could include lawsuits, financial penalties, and damage to your reputation. Also before resorting to breaching the contract, I would suggest exploring negotiation with the Investment Advisor as they may be willing to amend the terms or agree to an early termination. I will also add, in any event, you should be keeping a detailed record of all communications with the Investment Advisor, especially if there are performance issues or disputes. This documentation can be crucial if legal action becomes necessary.
