Debbie Grant was fantastic! She was very responsive to us being first-time buyers and having lot of questions. She was patient and professional and got the job done. Her follow-up on both sides was impeccable. And all this despite the lockdown and working from home and all the other disruptions that COVID threw their (and our) way. Couldn’t have asked for any better. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent service and achieved a brilliant result.”


Robert, November 2020

“I used RIAA Barker Gillette to manage and resolve a commercial contract dispute, where I chose not to speak anymore with the other party to avoid the anger issues they have. I found the work that they conducted to be professional and timely, and despite the other parties’ continued efforts to drag the process out and make new accusations, the process worked well with RIAA, and we have so far not had to go to court or pay the other party anything.”

Karen was great, she is communicative, responsive and helpful. She held my hand throughout the whole painful process and took the pressure off and was on hand to deal with my issues on my behalf always immediately. Would recommend her in a heart beat.”

Nicholas, July 2020

“With the help of RIAA Barker Gillette, I have been able to establish a Biotechnology company by acquiring promising intellectual property from an originator and agreeing a substantial financing round on the basis of that IP acquisition. [Victoria Holland] at RIAA Barker Gillette became my partner in negotiations with the third parties and took a pragmatic approach by focussing on closing the deals to allow for release of value for both parties.  The experience was challenging, exhilarating and eventually successful.”

Corporate and Commercial


Robert Nadler, June 2020

“After years of complex and expensive advice from supposed “top flight” lawyers that left us not completely understanding what we had done when we looked back. James provided us with straightforward, comprehensible, comprehensive solutions to our requirements at a really sensible cost. We couldn’t ask for better.”
