Patrick Simpson provided first class support when I experienced redundancy. I couldn’t have asked for more. Demonstrating his superior knowledge and experience and explaining everything to me with crystal clarity. Efficient and timely with absolutely no compromise to rigour. I highly recommend to all.”

Richard Seldon, January 2024

Karen Cole and Patrick Simpson made a perfect team, working together seamlessly. They did what they said they would do, always kept me up to date, always responded in a timely manner and kept expenses tightly controlled with no surprises. Answers to my many (and often confused) questions were always clear and very constructive, helping me move forward at each step. There was a large degree of intuition involved on their part, really understanding what was going through my mind. Great representatives for RIAA Barker Gillette, I couldn’t have asked for more.”

MS, January 2024

“Excellent experience. I needed a solicitor following a redundancy notification and was recommended to use Karen Cole – and Patrick Simpson – to review my settlement agreement. A phone call was quickly arranged with Karen who explained the process to me and answered any questions I had. Karen and Patrick kept me up to date throughout the process and were always happy to answer any further queries I had. I would highly recommend both Karen and Patrick to anyone going through a similar experience.”
