NEW Leicester: Wealth protection panel

It has been widely projected that 60% of the wealth in the UK is expected to be held and controlled by women in 2026, yet only 30% of professional women engage with their financial advisers. So how can we be more effective at managing our finances?

Freeths Leicester is delighted to be hosting an empowering panel discussion, dedicated to enhancing financial wellbeing for women. Our expert panel will explore practical strategies for safeguarding wealth and planning for life’s key transitions. Whether you’re advising clients or managing your own financial future, this discussion will provide valuable insights from legal and financial specialists, who will share their expertise and answer your questions in a relaxed, collaborative setting.

Improving Your Financial Health (Sarah Astley, Salisbury House Wealth)

Sarah will outline how to build strong financial foundations, from creating emergency funds and managing debt to prioritising protection before investing. She’ll also cover setting retirement goals, reverse-engineering your financial plan, and understanding the basics of risk and tax-efficient investing.

Wealth Protection in Relationships (Stephanie Kyriacou, Freeths)

Stephanie will explore how to protect assets during major life events, including divorce, financial settlements, and pension sharing. She’ll also explain the role of pre- and post-nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, and debunk the “common law marriage” myth.

Planning for Life’s Transitions (Merry Abbott, Freeths)

Merry will discuss why Wills are essential, how trusts can safeguard family wealth, and the importance of Lasting Powers of Attorney. She’ll also share practical strategies for inheritance tax and estate planning to reduce liability and secure future financial stability.

We look forward to welcoming you to this informative and inspiring session, part of our "Health, Wealth and Happiness" series. 

Nibbles and drinks will be served, so let us know if you have any dietary requirements when registering.
