We recently completed the very complicated sale of our flat, and I genuinely don't know how we'd have managed without Laura's support. She was absolutely brilliant throughout - incredibly proactive, always keeping us updated, and often ahead of the game. She was kind, friendly, and calm under pressure - exactly what we needed when things got stressful. It really felt like she held our hand through every stage of the process, and no question was ever too small. We felt completely looked after and reassured from start to finish. Thank you so much for making a stressful situation feel manageable - and even at times, dare I say, pleasant, and thank you for dealing with our queries, even when they were silly!

We found Patrick’s advice incredibly helpful. He took the time to digest a significant amount of internal paperwork and was both pragmatic and reassuring throughout. His memo was clear and actionable, and he didn’t just rehash what we’d already done he built on it and gave us a sensible steer that helped us move forward confidently in a tricky situation.
It felt collaborative rather than critical, which made a big difference. He stuck to the agreed fee cap, even though the time he spent on the job clearly went beyond that. Really appreciated the honesty and support we’ll definitely be reaching out again when needed.
A representative from RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) LLP responded to this review on 25 July, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that your experience with Patrick was a positive one. It’s great to know Patrick was able to make a stressful situation easier to manage while offering clear, supportive guidance.

This was a great client experience overall. I found that Laura was responsive and dealt clearly and commercially with any queries I had and issues that arose along the way. Between exchange and completion we had a plumbing emergency at the property and Laura was calm, reassuring and helped with our questions on how this might impact the sale and the most sensible approach to take. It all worked out and I am both grateful and impressed.

Following an extremely stressful and difficult period at work, a colleague recomended that I contact Karen Cole at RIAA Barker Gillette.
I am so glad that i did. My initial meeting with Karen was very friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring - just what i needed at a time when I had no understanding of my legal position and how to move foward.
Patrick's support and advice following the initial meeting was outstanding. He guided me patiently and with good humour through the complicated waters of my claim, and helped me to achieve a fair settlement.
I would certainly recommend Karen Cole and Patrick Simpson at RIAA Barker Gillette should anyone find themselves in a similar situation to me.
A representative from RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) LLP responded to this review on 30 June, 2025:
Thank you for your review. We're so pleased to hear that Karen and Patrick provided you with the support and guidance you needed during such a challenging time. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we’re glad we could help you reach a fair outcome.

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.
