The law firm of Norris McLaughlin, P.A., is pleased to announce that 10-15 Associates, Inc., a long-standing client of the firm, has closed a deal to transfer its ownership of their investment advisory practice to Wealth Enhancement Group, an independent wealth management firm that oversees $20.3 billion in client assets. “It has been rewarding to be outside counsel for this company helping them through the years on routine issues that come up here and there for active, successful businesses. We were happy to be able to give this client an exit and a way for them to capitalize on the asset they built over their careers, while also protecting their employees and the next generation of their family who was involved in the business,” said Oren M. Chaplin, a Member of the firm who was the main working attorney and lead counsel on this deal. David S. Blatteis, also a Member of the firm who assisted in this matter, added “Noteworthy about this transaction is that it is a sign of the times for the financial services industry – buyers like Wealth Enhancement Group are acquiring firms owned by the baby boomer generation and later generations.” “We have been involved with many buy-side and sell-side transactions in the financial services sector, so not only did we have the business law expertise for this transaction, but we were well-positioned to help our client accomplish their objective because of our intimate understanding and savvy working in this industry sector,” added Chaplin.
