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.
A representative from RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) LLP responded to this review on 27 March, 2025:

Highly professional service all round. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm.

Patrick was amazing from start to finish. He made the process so easy, and explained each step in detail ahead of time so I'd understand what would happen and when. He was incredibly organized and noted every detail, calling out things that I might want to think about in regards to my redundancy terms. When it came time to sign the agreement, Patrick took care of everything and communicated directly with my employer. Very pleased!

RIAABG have simply been outstanding and have always gone above and beyond.
They carefully guided me as an entrepreneur with a crazy dream through to a multi-million pound fundraise to build a luxury fitness facility in the heart of Canary Wharf.
Not only did they provide budget-friendly but complex advice, they honoured fixed price commitments even when the original scope expanded considerably.
I couldn't be more pleased.
Here's to a long and prosperous partnership together.
