The majority of my time has been spent acting as an Expert Witness in Divorce Proceedings in matters pertaining to pensions. As a firm we are familiar with all requirements of Part 25 of the FPR[2010] and Court protocols. We employ four outstanding Actuaries Mr Chris Goodwin FIA, Dr Catherine Anderson, Mr Rahim Rashid and our CEO Mr Jonathan Galbraith FIA, and a support staff of Case Administrators who help us expedite reports, and keep our instructing solicitors advised of progress.

As a firm we also undertake other areas of expert witness work which involve actuarial skills, such as Loss of Pension Rights in Tribunal cases, valuation of Life Interests in Trusts, and Negligence cases involving pensions.

We specialise in providing actuarial expertise in clear english.

I have advised in over 2000 cases, usually as a Single Joint Expert, but also as a Shadow or Party expert. This includes the Martin-Dye case. In the past 12 months, we have been instructed in over 500 matters.I also have experience of giving oral evidence in Court.

I now lecture on the subject as well, and have had a number of articles published in Family Law Journal. Recent lectures include the delivery of a paper to the Family Law Bar Association National Conference.

I sit on, and was a founding force behind, the Pensions Advisory Group (PAG) which is a multi-disciplinary group of solicitors, barristers, academics, actuaries and IFAs. This group is jointly chaired by two eminent Judges, who specialise in hearing complex financial matrimonial cases. The remit of the group is to seek ways in which a greater consistency of approaches by the Courts and Experts in the field of Pensions and Divorce can be achieved.

I am always keen to hear from experts in pensions, especially DB schemes, who may wish to join this small, but growing firm, either as an administrator or as a report writer.
