Karen Cole has been superb in supporting us in dealing with some complex legal challenges. Her advice and guidance is timely, well communicated and provides direction on resolving the situations on hand. I would highly recommend Karen and the RIAABG team.”


Denise, July 2024

Karen and later Patrick were an incredibly supportive team. I found them to be very patient, always willing to explain options, processes etc. The hearing week when stress levels were high for me, they took time to ensure I was support and all my needs met and questions answered. I hope to never go through this process again but if I have to I would go back to them again.”

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.”

“I was introduced to RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) when I needed employment contract advice. Patrick Simpson and Karen Cole were brilliant from the start. They took time to listen, asked pertinent questions, evaluated and gave me timely and good advice, checking in with how things were going.

I would highly recommend using RIAA Barker Gillette – I have also used them for corporate matters and Evangelos and Victoria were equally brilliant, timely and helpful with excellent advice.

Every contact that I have had with the firm has been first class.”


Prasanna, October 2023

“I found both Karen Cole and her assistant Patrick to be very professional, knowledgeable, and their advice was helpful and timely at all times. I would definitely recommend them, and would use their services again if I ever need further help with employment issues.”
