Over the last 20 years we’ve helped countless professionals to provide advice and guidance to clients going through divorce.

One of the ways we support our professional colleagues is by providing resources to help you to develop a greater understanding of issues relating to pensions, financial advice, and separating clients.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be hosting three valuable webinars that will highlight some practical hints and tips for success when it comes to pension sharing on divorce.

Read on to find out more about the content of these valuable sessions, and how you can reserve your place.

Pension Basics – Tuesday 21 November, 2 pm

In this 40-minute webinar, we will provide greater insight into the foundational areas of pensions.

You’ll learn more about:

  • Pension basics and the difference between defined contribution (DC), public sector defined benefit (DB) and private sector DB schemes, and how they all work
  • The different types of DC schemes
  • The “new” Lifetime Allowance rules
  • The State Pension
  • Things to look out for when completing a Form E financial statement or drafting a Letter of Instruction.

This webinar will take place at 2 pm on Tuesday 21 November. Register here to book your place.
