I cannot recommend Riaa, Baker and Gillette highly enough. My solicitor supported me throughout a very challenging property litigation matter, and thanks to her expertise, dedication, and strategic approach, we achieved a successful outcome. From the very beginning, my solicitor was professional, thorough, and incredibly reassuring. She took the time to explain every stage of the process clearly, ensuring I felt informed and confident in the decisions being made. Her attention to detail and strong advocacy were evident throughout, and she handled complex issues with both skill and determination. What truly stood out was her commitment and responsiveness — she was always available to answer questions and provided honest, practical advice when I needed it most. Property litigation can be stressful, but having such experienced solicitor on my side made all the difference. I am extremely grateful for her hard work and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of an exceptional solicitor.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the wonderful feedback you have given us, and we're thrilled that you had a great experience with our team.
As executor of a will it was a relief for a solicitor to act on my behalf as though no disputes it was still a lengthy and complex process. It was dealt with mostly by Charlotte B. who kept me informed at all times. She explained the process clearly and was able to answer any questions I had. She responded to any queries in a timely fashion.
Thank you for your review. We're glad Charlotte was able to guide you through the process and keep you informed every step of the way. If you ever require assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

The firm acted for me in an employment matter where the issues were as much practical as legal. The advice given was thorough and clear, marrying black letter law to the practicalities. This helped me greatly in achieving a satisfactory outcome

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.
Our experience with RIAA Barker Gillette has quite frankly nothing short of exceptional. Martin Alfreds led as Solicitor for the purchase of our property. Efficient, proactive, responsive, diligent, everything you could hope and want from a Solicitor - but with the bonus of being a thoroughly pleasant personality to deal with. Martin was recommended to us by the Estate Agent, and we could not be more grateful. Faultless from start to finish.
What a truly glorious review to read. Thank you so much for taking the time to post it. We have, of course, passed your comments on to Martin and the team and very much look forward to working with you again in the future.
Very poor service overall. A long delay in attempting to get onto Coventry Building Society's solicitor panel almost led to our losing the deal for the house. After many reassurances, this panel appointment was eventually rejected. I had to scramble to find another lawyer to represent the lender. This significantly increased my cost, which RIAA Barker Gillette refused to even partially absorb.
We genuinely appreciate any feedback from our clients, as it helps us identify where we can improve. It can be difficult when a lender changes midway through a transaction, especially when their panel is more restricted than most. However, we are pleased that the transaction completed on time and within our original fee estimate. At RIAA Barker Gillette, we are committed to delivering the highest quality legal services and ensuring our customers are satisfied. Your feedback is crucial in helping us improve our offerings and provide the best possible experience for our clients.

Although (for complex, not relevant) reasons this matter never reached the point of either negotiations or a court case, Barker Gillette staff provided us with excellent support. I would certainly go back to them in the event of future susch disputes

Karen supported me through a difficult time with warmth and professionalism. She made the entire process as smooth as possible, responding quickly to communication and giving clear advice. I would highly recommend Karen should anyone I know find themselves in a similar situation.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you had a positive experience with Karen, and we appreciate your recommendation.
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.
Found Pippa through a personal recommendation and she is wonderful. Offered so much wonderful advice, answered every question and is just the calm, pragmatic person I need as I'm navigating potential legalities
