Victoria Hingston
Spear’s Review
Payne Hicks Beach’s Victoria Hingston works across a wide spectrum of family law issues, including cohabitation, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, and international children work and leave-to-remove applications.
She often takes on international clients whose assets are spread across different countries, ‘but then I’ll have other [occasions] where all of my clients’ assets are in the UK’, she says.
‘The reason I like doing this job is because I like helping people get through what is the most difficult event in their life as quickly and as painlessly as possible,’ she tells Spear’s. ‘Every client is different, but it’s getting them from A to B with as little collateral damage as possible.’
Hingston joined the firm as a trainee in 2009 after studying for an MA in modern history at St Andrews. She made partner in 2022.
