Pragmatic, but commercially astute support

“Genuinely, we valued your pragmatic, but commercially astute support. It has helped us get this tricky deal over the line in a manner that we both feel supports our needs in a balanced way and gives LDW what they want as well – in a European Partner. Thank you, and we both look forward to continuing to work with you over the coming years.”



David Levey, August 2024

“I have been in business for 40 years, and I have dealt with a number of law firms in the UK and USA. Without a doubt, the very best law firm is RIAA Barker Gillette (UK), and I would highly recommend both Victoria Holland and Grayson Stuckey. Their attention to detail is unbelievable.”

“I was advised by Victoria over many years in a complicated environment as a founder director and shareholder. When a partial exit became possible due to a significant investment in the firm Victoria provided excellent advice and a calm head to help me achieve the best result.”

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.”
