Rosamond McDowell & Andrew Dixon—Payne Hicks Beach

Partner & consultant join private client team

Payne Hicks Beach has announced that Rosamond McDowell and Andrew Dixon have joined the private client department as partner and consultant respectively. Rosamond and Andrew have worked together since 1998 at Biddle & Co which in 2001 merged with Pinsents, and since 2004 at Collyer Bristow.

Rosamond specialises in tax and estate planning for individuals, families and trustees, onshore and offshore. Her practice is divided between contentious and non-contentious matters.

Andrew has extensive experience in UK and international taxation and trust and estate law. His clients include land owners, executives and partners, whom he advises on assets such as land, shares and securities and heritage property. He also acts widely as a trustee and executor. 

Rosamond and Andrew join a department of seven partners, one associate and two solicitors.  The department is highly respected for its expertise in complex succession planning, and was a finalist in the ‘London Legal Team of the Year’ category in the 2013-14 STEP Private Client Awards. 

Peter Black, managing partner, comments: “Our private client team is experiencing increasing demand from both a domestic and international client base, and Rosamond and Andrew’s arrival further increases our capabilities.  We are delighted that they join us at such an exciting time in the development of the team, and Payne Hicks Beach more widely, as we look forward to strong growth in the next 12 months and beyond”.
