Spear’s Review

A contentious trusts and estate specialist, Payne Hicks Beach’s Richard Manyon has argued trusts, property and civil disputes before all levels of the judiciary including the Supreme Court. He has also been involved in high-value disputes in overseas jurisdictions, including Gibraltar, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the United States, Jersey and Guernsey.

His cases have included acting in applications for the removal of trustees, protectors and executors; cross-border litigation alleging breach of trust or fiduciary duty by trustees or protector; and representing HNWs in estate litigation (typically concerning challenges to the validity of wills). He also deals with high-value commercial disputes, such as breach of contract actions, misrepresentation and negligence by solicitors and other advisers.

His work has an international element and, amongst other jurisdictions, he has recently been involved in high-value cases involving England & Wales, Gibraltar, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the BVI, the USA, Jersey and Guernsey. 

Richard is well-placed to advise in relation to matters concerning inheritance, contentious probate, capacity, undue influence and related matters. He also deals with high-value commercial disputes, including actions for breach of contract, misrepresentation and professional negligence by solicitors and other professionals.
