In financial remedy proceedings, employment loss experts assess the employment prospects and earning capacity of both parties. This is particularly important where one spouse has sacrificed career progression for family responsibilities or where self-employment income is disputed.
Career gap analysis establishes the financial difference between what a party would have earned had they continued their career uninterrupted versus what they actually earned following a break for family responsibilities. This loss of career figure informs the overall financial remedy calculation.
Courts frequently direct Single Joint Expert (SJE) appointments for employment matters under FPR Part 25. Our experts prepare compliant reports addressing both parties' earning capacity and labour market prospects.
