c Who do we do work for
Because we are truly independent and unbiased we are able to work in two different ways; we can accept instructions from either the legal representatives or one of the parties to work solely on their behalf on the negotiated apportionment of the pension scheme assets
Or
We can accept a joint instruction either directly from the court, jointly from both parties’ legal representatives or directly from both parties
What we do not do
We are not independent financial advisers and we do not provide independent financial advice, we do not advise or work in any field other than the area of pensions in relation to divorce which is our sole focus.
Because of this we can truly claim to be totally independant and completely unbiased.
Why use us
Because you will receive over thirty years pension experience, with access to a consultant who has been a main board trustee of a major high street name pension scheme, an adviser working alongside the ombudsman in the resolution of pension disputes, who is fully qualified and who specialises in the area of pension valuations with a company that is a member of the Society of Pension Consultants. This should ensure that our work is acceptable in a court of law.
If part of the assets that are to be split were a business then you would ask an accountant, for works of art, an auctioneer, property a surveyor. For pensions you have to ask a pension consultant because the only difference with pensions is that quite often neither party has any idea of the value, or worse still, believes that they do and negotiates on it in ignorance of it’s true worth.
The difference between the true value of a pension and the transfer value can be seen here in some real life examples.
