Advice on redundancy, exit negotiations and settlement.

I would like to express my gratitude to RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) LLP and specifically, Patrick Simpson for handling my case with professionalism whilst being prompt and personable.

The process of redundancy can be very unsettling without the added stress of negotiation and paperwork. Patrick Simpson’s transparent communication, insightful expertise and patience limited the stress of this process and ensured a more than satisfactory outcome was efficiently achieved.

I can’t thank Patrick Simpson enough for giving me knowledge of the options available to me whilst listening to my needs & ultimately executing exactly what I asked of him in a professional and timely manner.

After this experience I would highly recommend Patrick Simpson at RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) LLP as he exceeded my expectations from start to finish.

I would highly recommend Patrick!
Patrick advised me when I was being made redundant, making sure I was aware of my rights and advocated for me in all communications with my company. He came across very professional, trustworthy and knowledgeable and I would choose him and his excellent service all over again.

Advice on post termination restrictions and enforcement

Patrick et al were an absolute send! The advice given was clear and concise. Just what was needed as I was trying to negotiate my new job and needed to understand the employment contract jargon from my outgoing position. Patrick was responsive and very efficient which helped me move on with the matter in a timely fashion. Would highly recommend without hesitation.

Outstanding family lawyer who came through for me in a difficult case.

In the world new to me of divorce and the aftermath, Pippa provided excellent advice from the first call and right through to conclusion. She made a difficult experience bearable, was patient with me and offered realistic and accurate advice. While not an experience I ever want to live through again I would whole heartedly recommend Pippa and her team.

Exit negotiations and Settlement Agreement

I was recently made redundant, and my company had handled some of the process quite poorly. Patrick came recommended by a friend who had used him during her own redundancy, and I can now wholeheartedly recommend him myself. His initial consultation was thorough and helpful and clear. He was practical, realistic, and detailed in advising me of likely outcomes. When my former company's tactics were less than pleasant during the exit negotiations, Patrick was persistent and professional. Even when I thought all hope was lost he still managed to get me a better deal and get amendments to the settlement agreement that ensure I was protected going forward. He was quick to reply, a great advocate for me and my case, as well as being personable and kind during a time when I was extremely anxious and my self esteem was at an all time low. I am very grateful to him for his hard work and would have recommended his services even if the outcome had not improved.

Martin and Laura have been absolutely fantastic, cannot recommend them enough. We encountered challenges with the other party's solicitor and it just highlights the importance of instructing people who actually care and know what they're doing. They are professional, friendly, so responsive and committed to achieving the desired outcome for their clients. Thank you so much!

Overall a very positive experience with this firm, they were friendly and communicative, responding to emails/calls promptly and sometimes multiple times within the same day!

The team were thorough and made sure I clearly understood the information and outcomes of the process before proceeding so I was comfortable that I had a good handle one what was going on at all times.

I would definitely recommend them to others and will be using them again for any further legal needs I have.

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!

Martin handled the purchase of my first property and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Martin always made himself available for any or all questions, provided sound advice throughout the process and held our hands as first time buyers. Would absolutely recommend Martin and RIAA BC team.
