Reviews highlight clear advice, strong knowledge, attention to detail and efficient handling of complex matters, often at speed.

Review: RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) LLP I rarely leave reviews, but feel it is important to share our experience in a measured and factual way. Our residents’ company instructed Barker Gillette in relation to a complex, multi-leaseholder redevelopment matter. Over a period of more than two years, the file passed through four different solicitors, which resulted in repeated loss of continuity, shifting approaches, and prolonged delays. Communication was inconsistent. At critical stages there were long periods with little or no proactive engagement, and requests for coordinated meetings with other professional advisers were declined. In a transaction involving twelve individual leaseholders, this lack of joined-up communication had a material impact on confidence and engagement. A key communication issued to all leaseholders in November 2025 focused heavily on risks while omitting important contextual benefits and contained factual inaccuracies. Although a revised note was issued later, the damage to confidence had already been done. Attempts to address this constructively were unsuccessful. We raised a formal complaint with the firm. Unfortunately, none of our concerns were upheld, despite the evident breakdown in trust and service. As a result, we have taken the matter to the Legal Ombudsman and are considering further regulatory steps. This review is not written lightly. Complex matters require consistency, careful communication, and strong supervision. In our experience, these elements were lacking, and we were ultimately unable to continue working with the firm.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. We appreciate your feedback and note your comments.
This is the third time we have used Peter for property matters. Always efficient, professional, reachable and prompt.

We're delighted to hear that your experience with Ben and the team made the selling process smooth and stress-free. We always aim to provide calm, solution-focused support, so it's wonderful to know that came through for you. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we wish you all the best for the future.
RIAA Barker Gillette were engaged to handle a real estate transaction with unusual circumstances. As a non-UK resident unfamiliar with English conveyancing procedures, I felt completely satisfied with the depth of the information and explanations provided, with the creative solution orientated approach to the issues which arose, with the prompt response time and availability of counsel, and with the very efficient compiling of the documentation and the conduct of the completion. Highly professional service all round. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm.

Ensuring clarity, efficiency, and tailored solutions is always our priority. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you again in the future.
The team were friendly and approachable, responding to emails/phone calls promptly - sometimes multiple times within the same day and even while on leave at times! They were professional and kept me well-informed throughout the process, with my solicitor asking detailed questions and leaving no stone unturned when it came to getting the required information to proceed with the purchase. They made sure I was comfortable with what was provided and understood what was happening before proceeding, ensuring I was comfortable to proceed. Overall I couldn't be happier with the service provided and would definitely come back to them for further legal services.

Absolutely brilliant, fast, professional, clear and delivered a robust service. Recent mortgage oversight from Ben Marks and Anne was superbly dealt with and I intend on moving all my business to them. For a big firm they really do pay attention to detail. Great service and worked around the clock to deliver! HIGHLY recommended, tried and tested and didn't let me down!

My recent experience with RIAA Barker Gillette was exceptional. They provided considered care, attention to detail and I felt supported every step of the journey. This was my first time working with a solicitor and I was so impressed with the high level of attention to detail and so easy to consult with, no matter my questions. Would absolutely use them in the future and won’t hesitate to recommend to others. Thank you to Grayson, Kim and Karen.

Dealt with the group for many years and no matter which solictor i used results were always the same. Excellent!
Thank you for your kind review, Brian. We’re so pleased you were happy with the service and support provided.
I'm extremely happy with the service provided by RIAA Barker Gillette. They were very professional; dealt with my matter at speed and were very accommodating with my disability. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again if I need a lawyer.
We had an excellent experience working with Michael Davies and his team on the sale of our property. They were efficient, knowledgeable, and highly diligent throughout the entire process. Communication was always prompt and clear, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel very well managed. What stood out most was their commitment even after completion — they continued to follow up on outstanding matters and ensured everything was fully finalised, even a year later. That level of care and professionalism is rare and very much appreciated. I would highly recommend their services.
