LKR, October 2023

“I was introduced to RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) when I needed employment contract advice. Patrick Simpson and Karen Cole were brilliant from the start. They took time to listen, asked pertinent questions, evaluated and gave me timely and good advice, checking in with how things were going.

I would highly recommend using RIAA Barker Gillette – I have also used them for corporate matters and Evangelos and Victoria were equally brilliant, timely and helpful with excellent advice.

Every contact that I have had with the firm has been first class.”


Gary Lipman, October 2023

“Peter Drucker, an Austrian American management consultant, educator and author wrote ‘the most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said’ and that is what Victoria excels at. During a recent complicated, but important transaction, Victoria was extremely professional and gave advice and insights that got us over the finishing line in a harmonious, excellent manner. I recommend Victoria without equivocation.”

“I had to deal with a difficult case, unknown to me so I contacted Barker Gillette for guidance and legal services. I must admit that I knew the firm is very good but the service I received and the advice were invaluable. I am absolutely delighted with their professionalism and their ability to solve problems. I am grateful to the whole team that dealt with me and I thank them for the detailed work.”

“Victoria Holland has acted for us for many years, most recently in relation to a business acquisition. I can’t recommend Victoria and her team highly enough. Excellent communication throughout; they really listen to what we need and deliver a first-class service within the desired time frames. Victoria explains matters in a clear and concise way, is extremely thorough and works hard to protect our interests. Her fees are fair and provide great value.”

Richard Newton, October 2021

“Ever since I began working with RBG I’ve always found I receive excellent support and advice, and several times, the sage guidance, on a wide range of situations, has saved me time, money, complication and stress. The firm takes a long term view of its client relationships and this fosters a winning partnership across multiple dimensions.”

Liz Sullivan, March 2021

“I have little knowledge of legal matters, as I have worked as a firefighter for the London fire brigade for the past 20 years as well as a  mum and Carer. I knew James at RIAA Barker Gillette; after the recent death of my parents, who was fantastically supportive at a very hard time. When my business partners recently suggested setting up a LLP, that I knew very little about. I contacted James to ask if he could recommend somebody to advise me and look at the draft agreement. He suggested  Victoria who worked at his firm, who got in contact with me the next day. We discussed the LLP process and draft agreement and together, and made a solid clear plan on how to move forward. When speaking to me, Victoria, she really listened, and I felt she really understood my issues and concerns.  I would highly recommend Victoria and her firm.  Victoria was knowledgeable, confident, professional and approachable.  I found that her support made a rather stressful process was so much easier. I  would not hesitate in recommending her or the firm to family and friends.”

Partnerships and LLPs


Nicholas, July 2020

“With the help of RIAA Barker Gillette, I have been able to establish a Biotechnology company by acquiring promising intellectual property from an originator and agreeing a substantial financing round on the basis of that IP acquisition. [Victoria Holland] at RIAA Barker Gillette became my partner in negotiations with the third parties and took a pragmatic approach by focussing on closing the deals to allow for release of value for both parties.  The experience was challenging, exhilarating and eventually successful.”
