I contacted Pippa Marshall at RIAA Barker Gillette through a recommendation regarding a family law matter. Pippa was always clear, efficient, empathetic and helpful, offering constructive insights on my situation. I would highly recommend working with Pippa at RIAA to anyone.

After a number of years navigating a complex financial settlement following my separation, my solicitor has been incredible from start to finish. Their professionalism, patience, and dedication never wavered, even when the process felt overwhelming. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, I achieved the outcome I had hoped for. I am truly grateful for their outstanding support

I’ve found Pippa Marshal to be incredibly supportive, clear, and reassuring throughout a very difficult and complex situation. Her guidance has been precise, practical, and delivered with genuine care. She took the time to explain the process in detail, helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in the case, and provided clear strategic advice that has made a huge difference to my confidence moving forward. Pippa’s communication has been excellent — always calm, balanced, and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. She has been honest about what matters legally and has helped me stay grounded and prepared. I’m very grateful for her professionalism and the clarity she has brought to a stressful situation. I would highly recommend Pippa Marshal to anyone needing strong, knowledgeable, and compassionate representation in family matters.

I highly recommend James McMullan and his team. They all did a fantastic job with helping me through a particularly difficult family situation. They are extremely professional, caring, and experts in their field.

Very efficient. Maheen and Pippa were great, offered great advise and always available
Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that our family team were able to assist you efficiently and provide helpful advice. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to working with you again in the future.
Used this firm after a poor service at another and the difference was vast, but of course, this was primarily down to the lawyer that was assigned to my matter at the time. To iterate this, I worked with more than one lawyer at this firm and the difference in personal styles was again quite vast. It all depends on who you deal with. Nonetheless, the firm overall, provides a professional service that's of a much higher standard than most. The advice was always open, direct, honest, and options on the table crystal clear, which you often just don't receive from a lot of firms that just want to bill you their invoice. The lawyer I had was always clear about how much time and effort each path or action would cost, giving me a good set of recommendations to make a choice with. That's no doubt testament to the firms ethos. Personally, I would highly recommend!
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your recommendation and are glad to hear that you found our service to be a significant improvement and appreciated the professionalism of our firm. We understand that personal styles can vary among our lawyers, and we aim to provide clear, honest, and direct advice to all our clients. It's good to know that you felt well informed when making your decisions.
I dealt with Pippa Marshall for my divorce, who was recommended to me by a friend who worked with Pippa for his complicated divorce. She was very professional and very informative. Pippa took her time to go through every aspect, and I really felt like she was fighting my corner. Unfortunately I became a widower before I became a divorcee, and when this happened Pippa was supportive and empathetic to the situation but remained professional at all times. I can’t recommend her highly enough

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.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased our team made your first experience with a solicitor feel supportive and straightforward.
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.

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!
Hi Amish, Thanks for the wonderful review. We appreciate the lovely feedback!
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 times withheld. 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. On several occasions we sought line managers assistance, promises made, none kept. A key communication issued to all leaseholders in November 2025 focused heavily on risks while omitting important contextual benefits and contained many 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.
