“RIAA assisted me in a conflict I had with my architect, who wanted to overcharge me. The end result was satisfactory, with invoices reasonable despite being slightly higher than expected!”
“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.”
“James, Vinay and Kane have worked tirelessly on our complex administration of my late father for the past 2 years. This has included a dispute, eviction of a trespassers, grant of administration as well as the sale of a property.
I cannot thank them enough for their efforts in ensuring the right result for me and my sister in what has been an extremely stressful circumstance.
The whole team have our best interests at heart throughout. We are beyond grateful.”
