Independent Financial Advisers

We defend IFAs in all claims arising out of their professional business, including protection policies, retirement planning, investment and savings advice and mortgage products. We assist IFAs with risk management generally, including reviewing advice processes and case audits, particularly around advice relating to transfers out of Defined Benefit pension schemes. We have considerable expertise of drafting submissions to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) on a wide variety of complaints and, in particular, challenging FOS’s jurisdiction with the aim of disposing of FOS referrals at the outset.
