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.”

“Thanks to all for making [the deal] happen, especially I should say thanks to Vicky who was steadfast beside me the whole way and who steadied the process beautifully.”
