An online directory of financial advisers with links to solicitors launched this week to help law firms interested in forging ties with the financial services sector.

Trusts and probate, pensions and personal injury are just some of the areas where clients can benefit from financial advice, says Stuart Bushell, legal affairs director of Supporting Independent Financial Advisors. Solicitors are increasingly interested in joint ventures with financial advisers, and the site would help them find the best, he said.

The directory is at www.sifa. co.uk.
