Redress Advisory Ltd (Company No. 17295681) is a technology platform that provides case assessment and referral services.

All regulated claims management activity and legal work is carried out exclusively by our Operating SRA Partner (OSP) solicitor firms, each of which is independently authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
You do not need to use Redress Advisory or a solicitor to pursue a pension mis-selling complaint. You can complain directly to the financial firm, escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), or apply to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) yourself, free of charge. If you instruct a solicitor through our OSP partner panel, their fees will reduce any compensation you receive.
