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.”

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.”
