Michael Constable, August 2025
Wills, Tax and Trusts
“The work was handled very efficiently and I was made to feel a valued client.”
Harry, August 2025
“I contacted Karen Cole at RIAA Barker Gillette through a recommendation from a close family friend, regarding an employment dismissal dispute. From the start, Karen was very upfront with her expectations and the associated costs that were to be expected with undertaking the dispute. She worked diligently and professionally, and within a week of contacting Karen, the dispute had been settled with my former employer, resulting in a very positive outcome. I was highly impressed with Karen’s professionalism and knowledge with how to approach such a situation. Highly recommend working with RIAA to anyone.”

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.”
