Professional relationships

Offer your clients a seamless introduction to a Chartered, independent firm

We’re flattered that so many solicitors and other professionals entrust us with their clients

As a client-focused professional, you’ll doubtless have times when you suspect some sound financial planning would make all the difference. The question is, who do you trust? 

Offering a timely introduction to a proven partner doesn’t just improve your client’s experience. It can also protect their interests – especially if it’s an emotional time, or they’re not used to making big financial decisions. But you’re in a position of trust, so it’s important to make the right choice.

As Chartered, independent financial planners, with decades of experience, we regularly help lawyers and other professionals to support their clients. It’s a privilege and responsibility we take seriously, we focus on working together to provide the best outcome for our clients. .

Crucially, our emphasis on lifetime financial planning – rather than short-term advice – will help your client to use their assets in a considered way that supports their values and life goals.

And as STEP qualified advisers, as well as members of SIFA Professional, we’re well placed to offer your client a truly independent view of their options – building a longstanding, mutual relationship between our firms.

Sound planning at key moments

There are several times when an experienced financial planner can help a legal client. The most common we handle include:

  • Divorce settlement calculations – Independent cashflow planning to understand what they might need

  • Protecting a lump sum – Ensuring long-term benefits from a divorce award, asset sale, personal injury settlement, or bequest

  • Investments for a trust – Making sound investment decisions about money held in trust

  • Changing lifestyle – Using the proceeds from a home or business sale to provide a comfortable way of life.
