Karen Cole

Redundancy exit and settlement negotiations

“I was recommended RIAA Barker Gillette by a friend’s company and I couldn’t have been happier with the service received. Karen‘s initial reply was speedy and Patrick‘s help and advice following that was just as efficient. Patrick made a stressful situation simple and easy to navigate and explained everything thoroughly, whilst remaining friendly and personable. I’m so grateful for Patrick’s help and advice and for having the matter resolved within the short deadline. I’ll certainly recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar situation.”

“Karen Cole has been superb in supporting us in dealing with some complex legal challenges. Her advice and guidance is timely, well communicated and provides direction on resolving the situations on hand. I would highly recommend Karen and the RIAABG team.”

“Karen and later Patrick were an incredibly supportive team. I found them to be very patient, always willing to explain options, processes etc. The hearing week when stress levels were high for me, they took time to ensure I was support and all my needs met and questions answered. I hope to never go through this process again but if I have to I would go back to them again.”
