Representative Matters

Ian regularly lectures for the Merseyside Pension Fund on both pre-retirement and “mid-life crisis” courses and is actively involved with a number of specially selected Financial Investment Groups to provide a comprehensive package of measures to secure Client’s objectives in the most tax efficient way.

He is also no stranger to the “glare” of national publicity and was, in it’s heyday, regularly consulted to provide Legal perspectives upon the storylines of a famous, yet very local, national Soap. However, Ian will be the first to admit that “Legal Realities” were never allowed by the script writers to “mess up a good story line!”

Interests

Ian and his partner have 3 children. The youngest will be attending medical school in 2010. He is a keen martial artist in a number of disciplines and a student of the Japanese language.
