Redundancy Exit and Settlement Negotiations

Advice Regarding Dismissing an Employee Following Performance Issues
“We found Patrick Simpson’s advice incredibly helpful. He took the time to digest a significant amount of internal paperwork and was both pragmatic and reassuring throughout. His memo was clear and actionable, and he didn’t just rehash what we’d already done; he built on it and gave us a sensible steer that helped us move forward confidently in a tricky situation.
It felt collaborative rather than critical, which made a big difference. He stuck to the agreed fee cap, even though the time he spent on the job clearly went beyond that. Really appreciated the honesty and support. We’ll definitely be reaching out again when needed.”

Smooth sale of my Leasehold Property
“I had a great experience selling my Leasehold Property with RIAA Barker Gillette. Both parties were after a swift transaction which we were clear on prior to engaging this firm.
Ben Marks looked after my case, and I had a thoroughly positive experience. Clear and consistent communication, swift response times and a great legal knowledge were just some of the key factors that made me feel at ease throughout the process. I especially appreciated that he made time for all of my ad hoc call requests and answered my questions thoroughly or cleared up any confusion I may have had around the process due to my lack of conveyancing knowledge.
From onboarding to completion, the process took us 4 1/2 weeks. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a solicitor to use this firm.”

Claims for Disability Discrimination and Settlement Negotiations
“Following an extremely stressful and difficult period at work, a colleague recommended that I contact Karen Cole at RIAA Barker Gillette.
I am so glad that I did. My initial meeting with Karen was very friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring – just what I needed at a time when I had no understanding of my legal position and how to move forward.
Patrick‘s support and advice following the initial meeting was outstanding. He guided me patiently and with good humour through the complicated waters of my claim, and helped me to achieve a fair settlement.
I would certainly recommend Karen Cole and Patrick Simpson at RIAA Barker Gillette, should anyone find themselves in a similar situation to me.”

Redundancy exit and settlement negotiations
“I was recommended RIAA Barker Gillette by a friend’s company and I couldn’t have been happier with the service received. Karen‘s initial reply was speedy and Patrick‘s help and advice following that was just as efficient. Patrick made a stressful situation simple and easy to navigate and explained everything thoroughly, whilst remaining friendly and personable. I’m so grateful for Patrick’s help and advice and for having the matter resolved within the short deadline. I’ll certainly recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar situation.”
Siobhan, June 2025
“A fantastic service from start to finish. Going through the probate process is a stressful and upsetting experience but James McMullan and his team were always contactable, proactive when required, reactive when required and so so understanding, empathetic and compassionate. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone going through a loss or indeed any legal matter that they could help with.”
Alex, June 2025
“Ben and the team were excellent and I am able to say the process of selling was painless! Any potential hiccups were always addressed calmly and with a solution in mind. Very happy to recommend him/them.”
