Pension Solicitors in Carlisle, Cumbria & Northumberland

When pensions are to be part of a financial settlement, Cartmell Shepherd keeps sight of
the big picture.

Pensions are often overlooked when divorcing couples attempt to agree a financial settlement. Yet they may be the largest matrimonial asset, particularly when it comes to public service pensions. Our lawyers seek specialist actuarial input when needed, so that pensions can be divided appropriately, although any advice we provide is rarely given in isolation. That’s because matrimonial pension claims require oversight of both parties’ financial positions, plus consideration of any offsetting, pension sharing and pension attachment. In short, we get to grips with the numbers within the grand scheme of things.
