We have a team of specialist financial planners, investment managers and technical specialists who are all dedicated to working with clients who have been affected by serious injury or clinical negligence. With considerable experience in this field, we provide advice tailored to your specific needs, your experience in financial matters and the nature and severity of your injuries.
Our priority is making sure that you get the best outcome for your circumstances and we will work closely with you and, where appropriate, other professionals to achieve that.
Getting to know you
At Evelyn Partners, we believe our role is to ensure that not only do you benefit from the best possible advice, but that you also feel informed and in control of your financial future.
The first stage in that is to have an initial meeting, which comes at no cost to you, at which we will seek to understand your current and future objectives. We will take into consideration your plans for any large expenses and also how much care or support you might need both now and in the future. Establishing your spending plans will help us to identify how long your money might last and highlight whether you need to review your budget and/or consider investing some of your money.
Once we have established your needs and objectives and learnt more about your attitude to investment risk, we will be in a position to make our recommendations.
Building your financial future
At Evelyn Partners, we believe financial decisions are best made as part of an overall plan that is structured to help achieve your short and long-term financial objectives. This process involves balancing your income and assets against expenses and then identifying how this will affect your financial security over the course of your lifetime.
