Payne Hicks Beach makes further lateral hire as property lawyer Emma Copestake
joins firm
Leading London law firm, Payne Hicks Beach, is delighted to announce the
appointment of partner Emma Copestake who joins the firm’s Property department,
effective 1 July 2020. Emma joins Payne Hicks Beach from Withersworldwide, where
she was a partner in their property team.
Emma’s appointment follows the recent recruitment of private client partner Martin
Paisner CBE and Jessica Henson, contentious trusts and estates partner, both from
from Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner.
Emma’s practice encompasses all aspects of prime and super-prime residential
property work. She specialises in contentious and non-contentious leasehold
enfranchisement/extensions and landlord and tenant instructions, as well as advising
on complex funding arrangements and ancillary tax matters.
Emma advises private individuals, investors, developers, banks, and institutions. She
frequently acts for clients from overseas, often leading teams of advisers in a number
of different jurisdictions.
Emma is further known for her “turnkey” service for private residential property
buyers, acting on their behalf throughout the purchase; formulating the offer; acting
on the acquisition; advising on tax and structuring; and assisting with all aspects of any
development of the property.
Emma has previously been named as a “leading individual” in legal directories:
Chambers High Net Worth and Legal 500 UK, commended for her client service and
communication skills, as well as her depth of experience and commercial insight.

“Emma is an exceptional property lawyer with a wide range of skills, not least as a
much-trusted adviser to her many clients. We are very pleased to welcome Emma to
Payne Hicks Beach as a partner and look forward to working with her. Her arrival
follows in the steps of our recent recruitment of partners Martin Paisner and Jessica
Henson, as Payne Hicks Beach continues to grow its team of leading advisors for our
