CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LPL Financial LLC today announced that financial advisor Hugh Lau, CIMA® has launched a new independent practice, Lau Financial Group, through affiliation with LPL Strategic Wealth Services, which is designed to support the unique needs of breakaway advisors.
