Kevin Friend, December 2023

“I was recommended to use Patrick Simpson to handle my redundancy agreement. Patrick was excellent from start to finish, he kept me up to date during the whole process and took the time to answer any of my questions fully and took the stress out of what I though would be a very stressful process. I would not hesitate in recommending Patrick to anybody that needs legal advice in the future.”

Employment law


LKR, October 2023

“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.”



Abigail Simon, June 2022

“A fantastic firm to work with – everyone I spoke to was knowledgeable and helpful. [Laura St-Gallay and Patrick Simpson] supported me through a difficult litigation process, taking the time to explain every step very clearly, and their advice was spot-on. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm.”
