At Payne Hicks Beach LLP, Simon Blackburn leads a team of ‘excellent communicators’ who ’will work hard to find solutions to problems’. The group works for the owners of over 50 farms, estates, and country houses varying in size from 150 acres to well over 30,000 acres. Some of these estates are worth over £300m, and many of these estates have houses and grounds that are open to the public. Robert Brodrick acts for the trustees and owners of landed estates on a variety of tax and estate planning matters, while Rosamond McDowell is the trusted legal adviser to a number of substantial landed estate owners. Rupert Burchett is another key member of the department.
