Personal injury and Court of Protection services

Safeguarding settlement awards to last a lifetime

Large personal injury and medical negligence settlements represent a complex mix of loss and opportunity. While they cannot undo the harm experienced or restore what has been lost, they provide the financial means to regain stability and plan for the future.

At Quilter Cheviot, our dedicated team of Court of Protection and personal injury specialists works closely with individuals, their families and legal professionals, including court-appointed deputies and trustees managing personal injury trusts. We help protect settlement awards with care and purpose, drawing on our experience to shape them into resilient financial strategies that support long-term wellbeing and peace of mind.

Bespoke service, flexible delivery

We believe clients with complex financial needs benefit most when a financial planner and an investment manager work together. Each brings distinct expertise, with one focused on long-term planning and the other on managing investments with care and technical skill.

To ensure clients receive the support that best suits their circumstances, Quilter Cheviot offers two service models: one that complements existing financial advisers, and another delivered through our in-house experts.

Collaborative model

For over 25 years, our investment managers have partnered with leading external Independent Financial Advisers (IFA) in the Court of Protection and personal injury spaces.

These advisers choose us for our specialist knowledge, adaptable investment solutions and responsive service, tailored to the needs of protected and injured parties and their legal representatives.

Integrated model

Our in-house financial planners and investment managers work together to deliver a seamless service after settlement. Developed with input from deputies, trustees, families and clients, our integrated approach continues to evolve through our commitment to regular client feedback. Awards are managed by a team who understands both the responsibilities of deputies and trustees, and the complexities of personal injury investment.

Whether we are working alongside external financial advisers or delivering our integrated service, financial planning most often leads our approach, whilst the injured or protected party’s wider objectives are central to every decision.

Our team

Our team is based across the UK, meaning clients have access to local specialists, who understand the complexities of managing large compensation awards. We currently have 25 financial planners and investment managers specialising in Court of Protection and personal injury cases, ensuring a bespoke and dedicated service is provided to every client whose settlement money we safeguard.

During the webinar, David and Charlotte discuss how a holistic approach to family therapy can improve outcomes for the protected party.
