“The solicitor handling the case was thorough and diligent, and also patient with the protracted queries and delay by the buyer’s solicitor.”

Residential sales and purchases


Paul King, November 2023

“Our experience with RIAA Barker Gillette has quite frankly nothing short of exceptional. Martin Alfreds led as Solicitor for the purchase of our property. Efficient, proactive, responsive, diligent, everything you could hope and want from a Solicitor – but with the bonus of being a thoroughly pleasant personality to deal with. Martin was recommended to us by the Estate Agent, and we could not be more grateful. Faultless from start to finish.”

“We dealt with Charlotte who came from the London office to meet us at your Borehamwood office. I have to say that firstly, she was charming and professional. She fully explained the situation regarding wills, power of attorney and other situations that we should consider. Her attention to detail was flawless and her communication was excellent. On our second meeting, she again explained everything and helped us together with making sure that we were aware of what to do. I would fully recommend her to any of our friends.”

LKR, October 2023

“I was introduced to RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) when I needed employment contract advice. Patrick Simpson and Karen Cole were brilliant from the start. They took time to listen, asked pertinent questions, evaluated and gave me timely and good advice, checking in with how things were going.

I would highly recommend using RIAA Barker Gillette – I have also used them for corporate matters and Evangelos and Victoria were equally brilliant, timely and helpful with excellent advice.

Every contact that I have had with the firm has been first class.”


Prasanna, October 2023

“I found both Karen Cole and her assistant Patrick to be very professional, knowledgeable, and their advice was helpful and timely at all times. I would definitely recommend them, and would use their services again if I ever need further help with employment issues.”
