Contract Support
We know that many contractors and sub-contractors don’t have the luxury of in-house legal resource to deal with all contractual queries and documentation. We can fill the gap and offer specialist input.
Contract Reviews
We’re often asked to carry out contract reviews. We can adapt to what you need, but often we use a traffic light system to identify potential issues with contracts – red for unacceptable, orange for risks, and green for the standard provisions. This bridges the gap between the strict legal position and commercial reality of securing work. Clients that are alive to the real dangers in suggested contracts can avoid the riskiest of jobs – or at least built in the risk to their price.
Standard Form Documentation
Members of the supply chain often need their own suite of documentation to roll out on new projects without the need for our input on every occasion. This is typically where a main contractor needs to settle downstream documentation with their suppliers or a contractor is regularly contracting with clients who do not use industry standard forms of documentation. Whatever the scenario we have a wealth of experience pulling together suites of documents which fit with the business goals and values of our clients.
Flexibility is paramount for the supply chain and our services are adjusted accordingly to provide input where it is really needed – please pick up the phone or drop us an email so we can give you the help you really need.

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 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.

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.

Adam was an excellent all around. Disputes can often be stressful so it is incredibly helpful to have someone who can cut through the fog to deliver clear and concise advice that was still meticulous. He was always quick to respond when needed and was great at balancing the legal position against the reality of a commercial
