I am currently separating from my wife and Pippa's knowledge of the financial, legal and custody aspects regarding our children in our initial phone call were exemplary. She explained all the different options and possibilities that may arise at mediation or in the family courts clearly and was sympathetic throughout, whilst also telling me harsh truths when I needed to hear them. Thank you Pippa, I will certainly recommend you to others.

Thank you for your professional advice and guidance during my recent employment matter. Your insights were very helpful, and I appreciate your support. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again in the future if needed.

I've used RIAA for both Wills and Nuptial agreements, as well as Deed in Trust. They are an intelligent and friendly group of people, looking out for their clients.
The only ding is 1) change of attorneys mid case due to the departure of previous and 2) an IT issue that delayed work for a few weeks. This is not the fault of the law firm so would still very much recommend.

I was advised by Victoria over many years in a complicated environment as a founder director and shareholder. When a partial exit became possible due to a significant investment in the firm Victoria provided excellent advice and a calm head to help me achieve the best result.

Working with RIAA and especially with the attorney mentioned below has every since been very satisfying and pleasurable. They quickly analyse and come up with rapid feedback combining the necessary sensitivity, competence and pragmatism for each case.

Firstly what a professional company. My friend recommended the company and in particularly Karen Cole. In Ms Cole's absence Patrick Simpson returned my email and this is with whom took on my case.
In my first contact I mealy wanted to have a conversation regarding my situation. Patrick was extremely hopeful with honest feedback about my options.
It wasn't for a few wks/mnths later when my employer completely did a 180 on me prompting me to move forward with Patrick and bring a case to my employer.
Patrick has been knowledgeable and thorough throughout this time. He has moved this forward on every occasion and the outcome has been over and above anything I could have hoped for.
I think 'Joe public' tend to feel somewhat nervous around anything legal but Patrick has constantly put me at ease, explained everything and has thought ahead on everything making this an extremely easy process.
I would recommend this company and in particular Patrick Simpson to anyone going through the experiences that I went through.
Thank you again Patrick.

We used James McMullan and Charlotte Barbaroussis to have our Wills/LPAs amended. We felt that this process was a little more complex than usual. However, we were given suitable options in the present financial climate, to all questions asked and additional guidance on matters we had overlooked. We were kept informed of the process and contacted by Charlotte every step of the way and found her friendly, personable but polished, approachable and professional.

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.

Herman is proactive,competent, prompt and friendly.
