Financial Mis-Selling Solicitors in Glasgow

Financial mis-selling in Glasgow and Central Scotland

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and a major financial services centre. Clients across Glasgow and the wider Central Belt have been significantly affected by SIPP mis-selling, defined benefit pension transfer mis-selling, and investment negligence over the past decade. Glasgow's strong industrial heritage in shipbuilding, steel, and manufacturing means many workers accumulated valuable occupational DB pensions that became targets for unsuitable pension transfer advice.

Scots law — what Glasgow clients need to know

Scotland uses the law of prescription rather than limitation. The standard prescriptive period for civil claims in Scotland is generally 5 years from when the loss first became apparent — shorter than the English 6-year limitation period. However, if your claim is against an FCA-regulated firm, FOS complaints follow UK-wide rules regardless of where you live, and the date-of-knowledge principles still apply.

FCA-regulated claims — Scottish location is no bar

Several Scottish-registered IFA firms operating across Glasgow and Central Scotland were involved in SIPP mis-selling to local clients. Where the advising firm was FCA-regulated, English financial services law applies regardless of where you are based. We handle Scottish clients' claims on a fully remote basis and can refer to Scottish solicitors for pure Scots law matters where required.
