“I must say my experience of dealing with Patrick and the team was great as I required their services at short notice and employment documents reviewed and competed promptly. From the initial introduction to final completion, I was kept fully informed. Thanks for your assistance.”


Rowena, November 2023

Patrick was brilliant. He provided prompt replies to all of my queries and was professional and friendly throughout. His communication was excellent and easy to understand. I would thoroughly recommend Patrick and the team.”

Employment law


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.”


Prasanna, October 2023

“I found both Karen Cole and her assistant Patrick to be very professional, knowledgeable, and their advice was helpful and timely at all times. I would definitely recommend them, and would use their services again if I ever need further help with employment issues.”




Phil Rummery, May 2023

“Fortunately I don’t have to use Employment Solicitors that often but having dealt with Karen before I immediately called her when a problem arose.  As expected, she listened intently and helped me resolve a very stressful issue with a minimum of fuss, often taking the lead when dealing with the ex-employee to lower the stress levels that she knew it would cause—all in all an open efficient and professional service from start to finish.”

Employment law for business


George Alexander, August 2022

“From start to finish the process was easy, the complex legal side of things was made tangible to us and explained in ways we understood. When the details of the particular deal had to change the response was agile and flexible. We felt like we were in safe hands from the first conversation.”

Abigail Simon, June 2022

“A fantastic firm to work with – everyone I spoke to was knowledgeable and helpful. [Laura St-Gallay and Patrick Simpson] supported me through a difficult litigation process, taking the time to explain every step very clearly, and their advice was spot-on. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm.”

Claudette Atkinson, May 2021
