Payne Hicks Beach boosts Dispute Resolution practice with appointment of new partner
Leading London law firm, Payne Hicks Beach, is delighted to announce the appointment of Georgina Bayley as a Partner in the Dispute Resolution department, effective 1 March 2021. 

Georgina joins the firm from Withers and her appointment closely follows that of Jessica Henson who joined the Dispute Resolution department as Partner last year.  Together they add significant expertise and experience to Payne Hicks Beach’s flourishing Dispute Resolution Department. 

With over 15 years’ experience acting in significant international and domestic commercial disputes for an extensive client base of high net worth individuals and families, companies and charities, Georgina has worked on a broad range of matters from complex contractual disputes, jurisdictional and enforcement issues, seeking worldwide freezing relief, shareholder disputes, arbitration and contentious insolvency. 

In addition to her commercial disputes’ expertise, Georgina has also gained a reputation for handling judicial review proceedings.  Her experience includes bringing procurement challenges against public bodies on behalf of charitable and educational organisations. 

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.”
