Agricultural expert comes on board

London firm Payne Hicks Beach has expanded its landed estate and agriculture team with the appointment of solicitor Venetia Taylor.

Venetia joins the firm after almost five years with Forsters LLP. She focuses her practice on matters related to agriculture, landed estates and high-value country houses, with experience including rural land transactions and the management and letting of sporting rights to renewable energy projects. Alongside her practice, Venetia is a member of the Institute of Art and Law, having previously worked at Sotheby’s for over five years before training as a lawyer.

Partner Simon Blackburn (right) commented: ‘I am delighted that Venetia Taylor has chosen to join our team and would like to welcome her to Payne Hicks Beach. She will be a valuable member of the landed estates and agriculture team as we continue to grow our offering in this key area for clients.’
