“Interest rates are low, and that opens the door to people selling exotic, riskier investments.”

We are a firm of solicitors who specialise in negligence law with over 20 solicitors dedicated to this area. We have pioneered the use of “No Win, No Fee” Agreements in negligence law since their introduction in the 1990s. We only take cases on if we are able to offer a “No Win, No Fee” Agreement. Furthermore, the insurers who pay our clients compensation are also obliged under English Law to pay our legal costs on top and therefore, usually from the onset of the case, we can confirm with our clients that, if unsuccessful, they will pay nothing.
Have you suffered financial losses on a SIPP operated by a SIPP operator? If so, then you may have grounds for bringing a No Win No Fee claim.
Some SIPP operators have entered into dealings with third party advisers who are not authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to give pension or investment advice. This is despite their regulatory body publishing alerts and giving warnings against such actions.
