“Whistleblowing dismissal claim and settlement negotiations

I can not speak highly enough of this firm and [Patrick Simpson], they were not only understanding of my case needs they also worked with the up most integrity and professionalism to ensure I was able to get the right outcome for me and my family.”


Patrick, April 2025

“We had a long process handled by Charlotte & James from RIAA Barker Gillette. Even though we were outside the UK Charlotte & James we’re always available and we developed a great working relationship with them.
They gave sound advice, and we trusted their judgment.”


Leann Paris, March 2025

“From the beginning to the end, the support we have received throughout the case with all the staff members has been far more than we expected, we got kept up to date with every single matter, I have had stressful few years but Charlotte and her team have been very supportive and understanding.. I cannot fault anything, they have always gone far and beyond and always kept us up to date with everything that was happening.”


C Smith, March 2025

“As executor of a will it was a relief for a solicitor to act on my behalf as though no disputes it was still a lengthy and complex process. It was dealt with mostly by Charlotte B. who kept me informed at all times. She explained the process clearly and was able to answer any questions I had. She responded to any queries in a timely fashion.”


Marc, March 2025

“RIAA Barker Gillette were engaged to handle a real estate transaction with unusual circumstances. As a non-UK resident unfamiliar with English conveyancing procedures, I felt completely satisfied with the depth of the information and explanations provided, with the creative solution orientated approach to the issues which arose, with the prompt response time and availability of counsel, and with the very efficient compiling of the documentation and the conduct of the completion. Highly professional service all round. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm.”


Leigh, March 2025

“Instructed Martin on my first property purchase. He was a delight to work with, kept me informed and updated regularly. It was an incredibly smooth and quick process. Couldn’t be happier.”


Ms Brownell, March 2025

“Patrick was amazing from start to finish. He made the process so easy, and explained each step in detail ahead of time so I’d understand what would happen and when. He was incredibly organized and noted every detail, calling out things that I might want to think about in regards to my redundancy terms. When it came time to sign the agreement, Patrick took care of everything and communicated directly with my employer. Very pleased!”
