DRL Emerdata v Nix & Nix v DRL and Emerdata
“I cannot recommend RIAA Barker Gillette (RBG) Solicitors highly enough. Their exceptional skill, dedication, and strategic brilliance secured a truly remarkable legal victory for me in one of the most challenging and high-stakes cases imaginable.
The case stemmed from the collapse of Cambridge Analytica in 2018, a company that had gained global notoriety following its involvement in the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. The claimants—billionaire-backed Dynamo Recoveries Ltd. and Emerdata Ltd.—sought damages from me, alleging breaches of fiduciary and statutory duties as well as misrepresentations. Additionally, there was my own cross-claim, which was also heard during the trial. These were immensely well-resourced parties, spending an estimated £10-15 million on a formidable, full-time legal team comprising numerous solicitors, junior and senior Counsel.
Despite the staggering imbalance in resources, RBG Solicitors rose to the challenge, delivering a stunning “David vs. Goliath” victory. Not only did all the claimants’ claims fail, but my cross-claim succeeded—a result that felt almost inconceivable at the outset of this protracted legal battle.
What sets RBG apart is their ability to devise and execute superior legal strategies under extreme budgetary constraints. Operating on a shoestring budget compared to the claimants, their team demonstrated unmatched professionalism, innovation, and resilience. Throughout the seven-year litigation, the claimants made successive applications, all of which RBG successfully defended against.
The ultimate judgment was not just a victory for me but a testament to RBG’s extraordinary expertise and determination. They left no stone unturned, always keeping me informed and confident even in the face of overwhelming odds.
If you are looking for a legal team with the intellect, tenacity, and creativity to deliver results—no matter how formidable the opposition—RBG Solicitors should be your first choice.”

I can’t thank Patrick Simpson enough for giving me knowledge of the options available to me whilst listening to my needs & ultimately executing exactly what I asked of him in a professional and timely manner.
After this experience I would highly recommend Patrick Simpson at RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) LLP as he exceeded my expectations from start to finish.”

“Compare Ben Marks and Martin Alfreds with MJ and Pippen – the conveyancers dream team. Both Ben and Martin were amazing in assisting us with the completion of our first purchase. Martin was always accessible, understanding and prompt when dealing with our matter. Martin kept us within the loop at every stage of the transaction and always kept us at ease providing confidence throughout. I would highly recommend both Ben and Martin to anybody who require conveyancers to deal with their matters. They are both very professional and go above and beyond to make sure your needs and interests are well looked after. We can’t thank Ben and Martin enough for their terrific work, thank you.”

“Patrick et al were an absolute send! The advice given was clear and concise. Just what was needed as I was trying to negotiate my new job and needed to understand the employment contract jargon from my outgoing position. Patrick was responsive and very efficient which helped me move on with the matter in a timely fashion. Would highly recommend without hesitation.”

“Outstanding family lawyer who came through for me in a difficult case.
In the world new to me of divorce and the aftermath, [Pippa Marshall] provided excellent advice from the first call and right through to conclusion.
She made a difficult experience bearable, was patient with me and offered realistic and accurate advice. While not an experience I ever want to live through again, I would whole heartedly recommend Pippa and her team.”
