zuke | As long as you sought legal advice and the individual is independant and compentant you have satisied your requirements. |
HenryQ | But is the legal advisor is independent here though?! |
ZERGEN | I think 1 should mention written confirmation citing applicable lwas, rules and regulations instead |
dblueroom | good call HenryQ, but A looks better compared to other choices. |
yesandy11 | The key for me is that the legal advisor is knowledgeable in this area. They are competent = buy the securities. |
ibrahim18 | What does the question mean that "do not believe are legal for the investor to hold". This mean engaging in illegal activities. |
shalie | Key- you do not believe |
