Payne Hicks Beach âoccupies a favoured position in the pantheon of private client firms offering a sophisticated and refined level of service in the most high-profile casesâ. Ian Airey is âhugely respectedâ and Baroness Fiona Shackleton is âprobably the most celebrated family lawyer of her generation.

Philip McGuirk is a âbright and engaging lawyer who knows the law inside outâ and Matthew Booth is a âvery safe pair of hands indeedâ. Simon Beccle has an âextraordinarily impressive case load. He is one of the very few family finance solicitors to have appeared in both the House of Lords and the Supreme Courtâ. Consultant Fiona Brown is a âsuperb forensic sleuthâ.
