As a compliance consultant, I still sometimes struggle with the complexity of RIA compliance.

Yes, you read that right. After years of navigating the maze of regulations, interpreting SEC guidance, and building compliance programs from the ground up, there are still moments that make me pause. – not because I don’t know the rules—but because the rules keep changing, and applying them in the real world isn’t always as clear-cut as it looks on paper.

It’s one thing to read a regulation. It’s another to figure out how it applies to your firm’s tech stack, your custodian’s processes, your specific client disclosures, or that new service offering your firm wants to roll out next quarter.

What I’ve learned through years of working with hundreds of RIAs of all sizes is that even seasoned professionals face compliance challenges that must be navigated with experience and judgment where the rules simply don’t give the right answer.

At Brightstar Law Group, we bring that mix of deep compliance experience and discerning judgment applied in many situations over the years.

So if you’re struggling with how to navigate difficult compliance issues and are getting inconsistent guidance, reach out to see how we can help.
