As SIPP and SSAS legal specialists, we believe it is our duty and responsibility to guide clients through each step of the process and to communicate straightforward, actionable advice throughout each and every transaction. The dedicated website is purpose built to provide our clients, accountants and financial advisers with the very latest thinking on utilising SIPP and SSAS schemes to invest in commercial property.”
