Daniella acted for us in a long running dispute with Capita plc. In the end the result she secured for us exceeded our expectations + she was great to work with + and perhaps most surprisingly there were no shocks re costs! Would not hesitate to recommend and use again

My experience of RIAA Barker Gillette has been exceptionally positive, from my initial contact through to the final outcome. The team are highly professional, courteous and approachable, and it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with them. I was recommended the firm by a trusted friend, and have no hesitation of further recommending them to anyone who wants a truly professional service at a very reasonable price.

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.

Incompetent firm, still waiting for a single genuine advice. They are counting hours without delivering anything substantial. I strongly discourage it!
