Associate

Jason Benham is an associate at Fiduciary Law Center. He brings more than 25 years of financial services industry experience to his legal practice, with a career that spans operations, compliance, practice management, and advisor consulting across some of the industry's most prominent independent broker-dealers.

Prior to joining FLC, Jason served as President of JCB Advisor Consulting, an independent recruiting firm specializing in helping financial advisors identify and transition to broker-dealers, registered investment advisors, and hybrid platforms. Before founding JCB, he spent more than eight years as Director of Retirement Services and Practice Development at a national independent broker-dealer, where he built the firm’s retirement plan department and was instrumental in the firm’s response to the DOL Fiduciary Rule. Jason also spent over fourteen years at a leading independent broker-dealer, holding a series of progressively senior roles within the company’s retirement plan divisions.

Jason’s breadth of industry experience — built on the front lines of advisor practice management, regulatory change, and retirement plan operations — guides his legal work at FLC, where he focuses on ERISA compliance, fiduciary responsibilities, and the regulatory challenges facing plan sponsors, investment professionals, and service providers.

Jason received his J.D. from Purdue Global Law School, graduating with Highest Honors, and his B.A. in Political Science from San Diego State University, where he graduated with Honors and Distinction in the Major. He is licensed to practice law in California and holds FINRA Series 7, 63, and 65 licenses.

Outside of work, Jason enjoys spending time with his family, attempting to renovate his San Diego home, and indulging an inexplicable obsession with murder mystery television.
