Georgina Bayley said: “I am very pleased to be joining the Dispute Resolution team at Payne Hicks Beach as a Partner.  The firm and the team have an excellent reputation and their work is highly regarded.  I look forward to using my experience to further strengthen the team’s offering to best meet our clients’ needs.”
