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.

The firm is well known for building very strong client relationships, often spanning several generations and for having a modern, progressive approach to law and client management.

With a stellar reputation 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 complemented by 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 handle complex problems for people across their personal or businesses lives. 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. Time is taken to understand clients' needs: advising individual clients objectively but sensitively to suit their particular circumstances and for commercial clients making sure the business and commercial realities that they are faced with are understood in order to provide the absolute right advice.

The firm's structure, culture and commitment to outstanding client service means that all the firm's specialist advisers work closely with each other to deliver seamless advice across all practice areas.
