Legal updates
We periodically host our own free legal updates – including webinars and seminars. Keep an eye on our news page for details of these. If you have a topic you think we should discuss, please let us know – we appreciate that those at the coal face generally know far better than us lawyers in our ivory towers what you really want to hear about.
Between training sessions, we also produce frequent articles and legal updates on developments of interest, alongside our periodic Aggregate newsletter. You can review past articles on our News page and again, if you have something you’d like us to write about but can’t find it, let us know – we’re always grateful for inspiration.
Training sessions
If you need something more in-depth, we offer a range of tailored training sessions from hour long refreshers to whole day seminars. While we have plenty of sessions ready to go, including:
-
-
- Construction law basics – forming a contract, basic administration, and an introduction to the Construction Act
- Getting to know JCT and NEC contracts – introduction and getting the best out of the standard forms
- Payment provisions in construction contracts – getting payment right
- Adjudication – what is it and what you need to know
- Party Walls etc Act – explaining how party walls are dealt with
- CDM 2015 – explaining parties’ obligations and what happens when health and safety obligations are breached
- Construction law for the public sector – an introduction to construction law issues with a particular focus on public sector issues, ideal for local authorities involved with development work
-
The above is just a selection – if it concerns construction law we’ve probably talked about it before (and if we haven’t, we’d love the opportunity to talk about something new!).
We are also frequently asked to produce bespoke training for clients and to deliver it to groups small and big wherever and whenever you need. Get in touch to discuss what we can offer.

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.'
