James Bacon
Spear’s Review
James Bacon, who focuses on trusts, succession and tax, joined Payne Hicks Beach in 2006. He has since developed a large client base of landed estates, charities, trust protectors, beneficiaries, trustees, private clients and families based in the UK and abroad.
He frequently advises on matters such as contentious trust and estate work, succession law, estate planning and the commercial use of trusts. His expertise was recently sought for a book examining international succession laws and published by Bloomsbury.
