“I would like to share my experience working with Karen Cole as my solicitor. I recently faced a very difficult period in my life, having to step away from my job to prioritise my health. Karen was outstanding in guiding me through a complex employment situation. She provided proactive and clear legal advice, and stepped in to handle communications where necessary—allowing me to avoid painful conversations and focus on my wellbeing. Her confidence in handling the matter gave me the peace of mind I needed to resolve this as quickly as possible.”

They fully grasp every detail of my case and apply their legal expertise strategically to real-world challenges, with an unwavering commitment to my best interests. Patrick’s guidance transformed a stressful process into a reassuring journey. His clear and strategic advice built trust and eased my anxiety at every turn. Stay golden!”
“I contacted Karen Cole at RIAA Barker Gillette through a recommendation from a close family friend, regarding an employment dismissal dispute. From the start, Karen was very upfront with her expectations and the associated costs that were to be expected with undertaking the dispute. She worked diligently and professionally, and within a week of contacting Karen, the dispute had been settled with my former employer, resulting in a very positive outcome. I was highly impressed with Karen’s professionalism and knowledge with how to approach such a situation. Highly recommend working with RIAA to anyone.”
“Patrick Simpson was quite supportive and demonstrated flexibility in working with me. He took his time to explain what my options are, he went over and beyond and ensured the process did not cost me beyond what my budget accommodated.”
“We found Patrick Simpson’s advice incredibly helpful. He took the time to digest a significant amount of internal paperwork and was both pragmatic and reassuring throughout. His memo was clear and actionable, and he didn’t just rehash what we’d already done; he built on it and gave us a sensible steer that helped us move forward confidently in a tricky situation.
It felt collaborative rather than critical, which made a big difference. He stuck to the agreed fee cap, even though the time he spent on the job clearly went beyond that. Really appreciated the honesty and support. We’ll definitely be reaching out again when needed.”
