We don’t just act for private sector organisations – a lot of our client base is either a public body or a wholly owned subsidiary of one. As such we know what issues impact the public sector and are able to advise on the procurement requirements which are likely to be a consideration when procuring public projects.
Public Sector
Our approach to project documentation sets us apart. We understand the political and regulatory pressures on all parties involved in a publicly funded development and maintenance projects, so act in a way which looks to find the best route into contract. Our advice is second to none as we are responsive beyond our clients’ expectations, and we look to build meaningful relationships with our clients and their professional teams.
We’re also used to handling disputes for public bodies. Our experience of adjudication, litigation, and other forms of dispute resolution is second to none. But again, we understand the particular concerns and issues that public authorities face when dealing with contentious work, and are able to tailor our approach accordingly.
Who do we work for?
Our experience in this sector is broad. Typical projects involve residential, infrastructure, and commercial and leisure. The construction cost of projects our team have advised on varies dramatically – anything from £100k to £200m+.
Bread and butter clients for us are central and local government bodies, education institutions and housing associations. We understand that each has their own priorities, so while we build on the experience we have, we always make sure we take time to get to know each client and its goals to deliver the best advice possible.
So if you are building anything – or even thinking about it – please get in touch sooner rather than later. A phone call costs nothing and we are always keen to have a chat.

'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.'

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.'
