Getting specialist divorce financial planning advice at the right time can make a significant difference to your settlement outcome. Whether you need guidance on pension sharing orders, divorce settlement strategy, or financial planning after separation, our team has the expertise and accreditation to help.
Working with Individuals & Family Lawyers
Our Specialist Divorce Finance Team is led by a Resolution Specialist Accredited financial advisor, one of only approximately 35 financial professionals in the UK to hold this accreditation as a recognised expert in divorce finance work.
This is the gold standard qualification for financial advisors working in divorce, and it means our clients and the family lawyers we work with can have full confidence in the quality and independence of our advice.
We have outlined below how we can support individuals during and post-divorce, and our Divorce Finance support for Family Lawyers.
Our Support For Clients
Divorce is one of the most financially significant events in a person's life. The decisions made around pension offsetting, pension sharing, lump-sum settlements and asset division can have lasting consequences and many people don't realise until it's too late that specialist financial advice at the right stage can substantially change what they receive. Our team provides independent, expert guidance at every stage of the process.
