Well, here’s a thing, a thing that I have to say I didn’t realise was a thing. A polyamorous relationship is, apparently, a threesome or moresome knowingly together in one household in one form or another. Yes, families have become more complicated in these still-progressive times, and many have more than one family and/or sets of children and relationships to take into account. They’re the ones we encourage to get wills and work out who should get what; and you’d be surprised how many haven’t done so. What should we do however as advisers, if and when we meet those ‘embracing ethical non-monogamy rather than infidelity’. Try not to look surprised and make it up as you go along, is the likely answer. Jokes and alternative answers on the proverbial, please.
“Worry for profession as young adviser numbers plummet”
There are around 31,000 advisers currently authorised by the FCA to give advice. Of these only around 6% are under 30 and 84% of all advisers are male. There are 209,000 solicitors, 7,000 young ones enter the profession each year and 52% of all solicitors are now female.
