Jessica Henson
Spear’s Review
Jessica Henson is a partner in Payne Hicks Beach’s well-regarded private client team, specialising in disputed trusts and estates.
Her practice includes probate disputes – especially cases in which divorce has complicated matters – capacity and construction issues, and claims under the Inheritance Act 1975.
‘Because of all the experience I have with disputes, I find myself doing quite a lot of advisory work trying to prevent disputes from arising,’ she tells Spear’s. This involves advising on structures such as wills and prenuptial agreements that lay out what should be done in the event of future divorces, power holders losing capacity or any deaths that may occur.
‘What I really love about the work I do is the diversity of the client base,’ she notes. ‘We work with everyone from global CEOs who are leaders in their field to landed estates and everything in between.’
