Redundancy advice and settlement agreement

“Patrick Simpson was fantastic in offering advice on my redundancy and settlement agreement. Throughout the process, I was informed, reassured and supported by his extensive knowledge and recommendations. Prior to the process, I had little legal knowledge and relied on Patrick’s guidance, which heavily reassured me and ended in a more than desirable outcome. I would happily use Patrick’s services in the future.”

Valuable help in navigating difficult life-changing decisions.

“I would like to share my experience working with Karen Cole as my solicitor. I recently faced a very difficult period in my life, having to step away from my job to prioritise my health. Karen was outstanding in guiding me through a complex employment situation. She provided proactive and clear legal advice, and stepped in to handle communications where necessary—allowing me to avoid painful conversations and focus on my wellbeing. Her confidence in handling the matter gave me the peace of mind I needed to resolve this as quickly as possible.”


Ms. Lam, September 2025

“Karen Cole and Patrick Simpson embody the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. They fully grasp every detail of my case and apply their legal expertise strategically to real-world challenges, with an unwavering commitment to my best interests. Patrick’s guidance transformed a stressful process into a reassuring journey. His clear and strategic advice built trust and eased my anxiety at every turn. Stay golden!”




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.”
