The ‘utterly exceptional’ Mark Jones leads the white-collar crime practice at Payne Hicks Beach LLP, which stands out for its strength in acting for ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Collaborating closely with the firm’s dispute resolution, private client, and family departments, the group is also well-placed to advise on the privacy, reputation, and media aspects of financial crime cases; Hanna Basha and Nick Grant are key names here. Paul Dorrans left the team in September 2023.
