We are a boutique construction law firm. Construction law – developments, disputes and ad hoc advice – is all we do. Led by our six partners, we provide expert advice to clients in a way that is personal, responsive, and great value for money.
Everyone at Archor has years of experience of working in the construction industry and being involved in projects big and small – from developments with billion pound GDVs to residential refurbs. So our knowledge and experience can be taken as read – but it’s the way we deliver our advice which sets us apart. We want you to receive a level of service well beyond your expectations.
Our client base is very broad, acting for all parties with an interest in construction: contractors, large sub-contractors and developers provide the bulk of our work, but we’re also familiar with acting for individuals, consultants, public sector bodies, lenders and education providers. You’ll see some of the testimonials we’ve received from clients on this site – we’re grateful to have some brilliant long-term relationships which are valued by both sides.
We have contacts far and wide in the industry too, so we will always be able to put you in touch with those you need for a project (experts, consultants and such like), and to provide networking opportunities. We also provide training – everything from guest speaking for other organisations to free seminars and webinars to our bespoke client training and The ABC – The Archor Basics of Construction.
We love to talk about what we do and we think we’re a friendly enough bunch. And as a small firm, we can be (and want to be) adaptable to what our clients need. So if you don’t see it on this website – or if you just want a chat – please get in touch.
Testimonial
'I have worked with Hanna and the Archor team several times over the years on a range of issues.
Hanna takes time to understand the commercial realities of a situation and has helped us navigate even the most complex of legal issues with her own style of prompt straightforward advice.'
Testimonial
'I have been working with Ruth and the Team for a number of years on various complex issues. They always go the extra mile to support and understand the commercial reality of situations providing detailed and well thought out guidance and legal advice every time. They are an invaluable support service when required and it is clear that they genuinely care about providing the best service possible to our business.'
Testimonial
'I use Archor because it’s a one stop shop, I get made to feel important and like I’m a priority. They work quickly and allow me to get on with other things, and I trust their judgement and advice implicitly.
I don’t think I’ve ever had to chase you them on a legal matter, it’s normally the other way around which is another reason why I wouldn’t take our business elsewhere - I very much feel like we are a team working towards the same outcome.'
Testimonial
'I find Rory to be very approachable, with a can-do attitude. Which combined with his attention to detail, understanding of the potential risks and practical approach makes him a very valued and respected member of our consultant team.'
