Testimonials

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.”

Gary Lipman, October 2023

“Peter Drucker, an Austrian American management consultant, educator and author wrote ‘the most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said’ and that is what Victoria excels at. During a recent complicated, but important transaction, Victoria was extremely professional and gave advice and insights that got us over the finishing line in a harmonious, excellent manner. I recommend Victoria without equivocation.”
