“Martin and his team provided a great service during a slightly gruelling conveyancing period that took over 6 months. He was patient and always available to talk. Even during a busier personal matter. I’m grateful to have had his expertise during the sale of property.”

“I was advised by Victoria over many years in a complicated environment as a founder director and shareholder. When a partial exit became possible due to a significant investment in the firm Victoria provided excellent advice and a calm head to help me achieve the best result.”

“Working with RIAA and especially with [Victoria Holland and Evangelos Kyveris] below has ever since been very satisfying and pleasurable. They quickly analyse and come up with rapid feedback combining the necessary sensitivity, competence and pragmatism for each case.”

“Firstly what a professional company. My friend recommended the company and, in particular, Karen Cole. In Ms Cole’s absence, Patrick Simpson returned my email and this is with whom took on my case.

In my first contact, I merely wanted to have a conversation regarding my situation. Patrick was extremely hopeful with honest feedback about my options.

It wasn’t for a few weeks/months later when my employer completely did a 180 on me prompting me to move forward with Patrick and bring a case to my employer.

Patrick has been knowledgeable and thorough throughout this time. He has moved this forward on every occasion and the outcome has been over and above anything I could have hoped for.

I think ‘Joe Public’ tends to feel somewhat nervous around anything legal but Patrick has constantly put me at ease, explained everything and has thought ahead on everything making this an extremely easy process.

I would recommend this company and in particular Patrick Simpson to anyone going through the experiences that I went through.

Thank you again, Patrick.”

“We used James McMullan and Charlotte Barbaroussis to have our Wills/LPAs amended. We felt that this process was a little more complex than usual. However, we were given suitable options in the present financial climate, to all questions asked and additional guidance on matters we had overlooked. We were kept informed of the process and contacted by Charlotte every step of the way and found her friendly, personable but polished, approachable and professional.”

Karen and later Patrick were an incredibly supportive team. I found them to be very patient, always willing to explain options, processes etc. The hearing week when stress levels were high for me, they took time to ensure I was support and all my needs met and questions answered. I hope to never go through this process again but if I have to I would go back to them again.”
