As the number and complexity of divorce cases continue to gather pace in Wales, Legal News Wales invited George Mathieson, CEO & Expert Witness at Mathieson Consulting Ltd, to share his wisdom, candid insight and practical tips for family and finance lawyers supporting clients with pensions on divorce settlements.
George has seen the good, bad and ugly of practice when it comes to pensions on divorce and his considerable experience and straight-talking, personable approach makes him one of the most sought-after experts, and a great speaker.
We were fortunate enough to gain some of his time recently at an online event for family lawyers hosted by Brewin Dolphin and Legal News.
If you missed out, you’re in luck as we’ve shared the event in full (including the superb Q&A session), below.
In this one-hour event, George outlined 13 potential pitfalls in Pensions on Divorce and served up top tips to equip lawyers with more knowledge to better service their clients. He also fielded some questions from the online audience.
A bakers’ dozen
George covered a ‘baker’s dozen’ of pension on divorce themes, including:
- what not to request in a PODE report and why;
- the risks in requesting a decree absolute on the wrong date;
- hidden pension values;
- …and much more.
