We provide Pension Reports that assist solicitors and their clients in reaching a settlement with regards to pensions on divorce.
Understanding what benefits are provided by a pension scheme is complicated, particularly in respect of defined benefit schemes, so it is advisable to involve a pensions actuary to assist in setting out each party’s pension entitlements. This will ensure the parties are fully aware of what pension income each can expect upon retirement and how to reach a suitable settlement on divorce.
We enable solicitors and their clients to make an informed decision in the settlement of the divorcing parties’ pensions.

Standard report
Our goal for the reports we write is to be clear and concise. The law, pensions, and finances are all intricate topics in and of themselves. Since we don't want to cause more uncertainty, our reports will provide concise, easily understood answers to the queries posed to us.
Offsetting-only report
There are situations where the parties to a divorce decide that pensions will not be shared. In these situations, we can offer a condensed, specialized, offsetting-only report that addresses the parties' pensions at the proper valuations for these purposes and outlines any necessary modifications.
How we take instructions
In extremely rare situations, we will accept direct instructions from unrepresented parties about single joint expert witness work; otherwise, we will always insist that at least one of the parties be represented by counsel. This is because a single joint expert has to adhere to several protocols, especially those pertaining to proving their objectivity and impartiality. Having legal representation for both parties makes doing this much easier.
When we are asked to act as a single joint expert in a divorce case of this nature, we typically only accept instructions from solicitors
But when we are not constrained by acting as a single joint expert, we are happy to take direct directions from unrepresented parties.
