Expert Legal Support in Scotland
At Thompsons Solicitors, we specialise in protecting the rights of individuals who have experienced financial mis-selling. A significant focus of our practice involves addressing issues with investments made through St James's Place Partnership (SJP), a well-known wealth management company.
Why Make a Claim Against St James's Place?
Clients often report dissatisfaction with the services and advice provided by SJP. Common concerns include:
Inadequate Financial Advice: Advice that was not suited to the client’s financial situation or goals.
High Fees and Hidden Costs: Unexpected charges that were not clearly disclosed at the outset.
Misrepresentation of Risks: Investments presented with a misleading view of potential risks and returns.
If these issues resonate with your experience, you might be entitled to compensation.
Recent Developments at St. James's Place
In early 2024, St James's Place announced the allocation of £426 million specifically to address potential complaints. This fund was established in response to issues such as hidden adviser fees, where charges are deducted annually from clients' investment pots to cover the cost of the advice they received, rather than the financial products recommended.
What This Means for You
This fund is an acknowledgment of potential discrepancies in the advice provided to investors and represents an opportunity for those affected to seek restitution. If you believe that you have been misadvised or overcharged by St. James's Place, now is the time to come forward and claim what you are due.
With a substantial amount set aside for refunds, it is crucial to act quickly to ensure that your claim is processed efficiently and effectively. Contact our team today to begin the assessment of your claim. We can provide you with the expert guidance and support needed to recover the funds you rightfully deserve.

Important Clarification for St. James's Place Investors
It is crucial for our clients to understand that when pursuing a claim related to financial mis-selling, the claim is not against your personal financial advisor.

St James's Place is responsible for overseeing the practices and offerings that affect your investments, therefore all claims will be against St James’s Place.
