In early July, the Pensions Advisory Group (PAG) published their long-awaited report, A Guide to the Treatment of Pensions on Divorce.

Many of you will know that the PAG comprises of actuaries, solicitors, barristers, IFAs, academics and other specialists operating in this field. The aim of the report was to provide comprehensive guidance on how pensions on divorce should be approached. It also sought to bring clarity to traditionally thorny areas such as pension offsetting, State Pensions and many more.

To help professionals understand the key findings from the PAG report, we’re hosting two free seminars at the end of this month. If you are a practising family lawyer or mediator involved in divorce work, this is an invaluable session – and it qualifies for CPD.

Understand the key findings of the PAG report

At these two-hour seminars we’ll cover:

• The key findings of the PAG report
• What the report means for your reports in the future
• The software we use when acting in the capacity of shadow experts
• How this software can be used to help separating/divorcing couples reach good outcomes that work for both parties.

As well as sharing the key outcomes of the recent PAG report, we’ll also bring you right up to date with the current practices when working in this field.

• Session 1 with Mark Penston: Understanding the Key Findings of the PAG Report (Length 1 hour 15 minutes)
• Session 2 with Rob Starling and Jeremy Jackson: Cashflow Modelling on Divorce – A New Way Forward? (Length 45 minutes)
