Warrington, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/26/2019 -- APJ Solicitors is managing a rising number of Liberty SIPP compensation cases for their clients, as the number of people seeking Liberty SIPP compensation continues to rise to several hundred. Their team is experienced in creating strong cases against SIPP providers who have accepted into a SIPP a high risk investment that was unsuitable as a pension investment. APJ are now managing a growing number of Liberty SIPP compensation cases as awareness of the failings of Liberty SIPP to treat their customers fairly has increased.
In the past year, there have been over 500 Liberty SIPP compensation claims made with complaints submitted to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), similar to other high-profile cases such as those regarding Carey Pensions and Berkeley Burke.
For clients with a Liberty SIPP compensation case, now is a good time to get in touch with APJ Solicitors, as in October last year, the High Court ruled that adequate due diligence had not been carried out by Berkeley Burke for over £29,000 of collective investments. The High Court case serves as a useful precedent in the claims against Liberty SIPP.
APJ Solicitors is already managing a wide range of mis-sold SIPP cases, including some investors through Liberty SIPP. With pension mis-selling now more widely recognised , rulings have been largely in favour investors, and APJ Solicitors' team works with clients to ensure they get the maximum Liberty SIPP compensation that they are entitled to, based on their financial loss and case.
Legal advice and support is given to every client, with a focus on maximum Liberty SIPP compensation for every case, to ensure each client reaches an outcome that they are happy with. Their vast knowledge in the pensions sector means they are confident in their strategies to gaining compensation every time.
Anthony Wilson, MD of APJ Solicitors, explained, "For many years, investors have been persuaded to invest significant sums into different SIPP investments. These investments were often positioned by advisors to be lucrative, but in reality were far riskier than they appeared. From ethical forestry investments through to luxury hotels, investors were persuaded to use SIPP investments as a vehicle to gamble their money. With the promise of significant – supposedly guaranteed – returns, investors were not informed of the huge risks associated with these non-standard investments. Many firms or individual brokers failed to consider the individual circumstances of their clients. APJ Solicitors have been helping to assist victims of SIPP mis-selling to recover compensation."
