Firm Overview:
Payne Hicks Beach is a full service law firm providing specialist legal services to domestic and international high net worth private individuals and families, family offices and commercial clients. Its offices in Lincoln’s Inn, which it has occupied since its establishment in the 1730s, complement its long and distinguished heritage. The firm is well known for building very strong client relationships, often spanning several generations and for having a thoroughly twenty-first century approach.
The firm’s reputation has been built on its family and private client work: it is regarded as one of the very best of the small number of firms in the UK providing these specialist services at the highest level. This capability is matched with a top ranking expertise in key areas of law including: commercial, privacy & media, citizenship & immigration, dispute resolution, property, sport, white collar crime & regulatory, and surrogacy, fertility, adoption & modern family law.
Expert teams take the time to understand clients’ needs fully, advising clients objectively but sensitively to suit their particular circumstances or commercial realities, and to ensure the firm provides the absolute right advice. Whether an individual or a corporate client, the advice will be incisive, straightforward and solution led. Used to working under pressure, often in stressful and sometimes emotional situations, the firm handles difficult issues sensitively and is completely focused on protecting its clients’ interests.
Above all, the firm focuses on client care. Its structure, culture and commitment to outstanding client service ensures it can deftly handle complex problems for clients across their personal or business lives, delivering seamless advice across all its practice areas.
