Expert Financial Planning

“The Court shall have regard to CPR rule 41.7 and include – the nature of any financial advice received by the Claimant when considering the form of award”

A PPO is an alternative to the lump sum only settlement method, whereby part of the award is provided in regular payments as opposed to a traditional lump sum. PFE can provide you with a ‘full report’ or a less detailed ‘assessment of settlement report’

Trust For Minors (TFM) Report

Expert Financial Services

A Trust for Minors Report involves the creation of a Trust for Minors report and a trust held in the name of the minor, providing a better interest rate and enabling the money to be moved out of court. Without a TFM the money would need to be held in the Court of Protection or Court Fund Office which has poor interest and investment opportunities. A TFM has the potential to allow the claimant to access a higher return on their money.

What our clients say

  • “Jane was Amazing! I am due to get my first benefits payment shortly. Completing the forms with Jane’s help was much better than trying to do alone as she is so on the ball and just made the whole process much easier and less stressful”

    Paladin Client

  • “We instructed Jeremy to provide expert evidence about the proper level of commission for introductions to be made to a financial adviser or pension fund as part of a multi-party fraud claim in the High Court of England and Wales. Jeremy was enthusiastic and passionate from the outset: from the initial conversation he started undertaking research, checking information and coming up with ideas about the best way to demonstrate and present his evidence. ”

    LF

    Testimonial from Partner at a London firm

  • “I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen as an expert witness, in particular advising on the form of the award in multi-million pound claims. Stephen recently assisted on the day of a Joint Settlement Meeting, being on the phone and at the end of emails to provide a steer on the choice between a lump sum and a Periodical Payments Order in a multi-million pound claim. He also helped with cashflow modelling on lump sum awards. The work he did to help my client with the choice between the form of the award and to help me and Counsel advise on settlement offers was absolutely invaluable.”
