Sir Clive Woodward will be one of the main platform speakers at next week's LIA annual conference in London, alongside the FSA's David Kenmir who has been confirmed as one of the Q&A panellists.

Students at Edinburgh University School of Law have become the first students in the UK to study the Financial Planning Certificate 1 (FP1), as part of the financial services module of their Legal Diploma.

Mark Ommanney, director general of the LIA says advisers must carry their share of the burden required to bring to fruition the association's proposed five-year plan for change published this week.
