Charles Leyland – Managing Director, Leyland Private Asset Management

As a corporate commercial law firm, it is essential for us to have reliable partners we can call upon to provide specialist expertise to support all of our client needs. Richard Thompson is a ‘safe pair of hands’ that I can refer my clients to for employment matters, secure in the knowledge that they will be looked after professionally and in a way that will reflect well on my own practice. Richard has a way of relating to clients that helps them to understand sometimes complex issues and gives them the comfort of knowing their interests are being properly taken care of.

Andrew Perry – Principal, Perry Advisory Lawyers

I have been using Richard and the team at Archer Thompson for the past 8 years across numerous businesses. I rate them highly. Not only do they know the law, they are not scared to give you business advice, which I really appreciate. They are also very practical and frugal with how they spend their clients (my) money. I have and often do recommend Archer Thompson to my clients and friends. I trust them implicitly.

Andrew Aston – Managing Director, Morgan Consulting

Richard’s experience and expertise in HR issues are admirable. His no-fuss approach, prompt service, and sage advice have saved me countless hours and money. I highly recommend him.

I spoke with Richard regarding a legal matter and had a very positive experience. He generously spent around 15 minutes speaking with me over the phone at no charge. He took the time to listen to my situation, explain my options clearly and provide practical and balanced guidance. I particularly appreciated how straightforward and genuine he was. I came away from the conversation with much greater clarity and confidence about how I wanted to move forward. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for practical, professional and honest legal advice.

I reached out to Archer Thompson Lawyers not really knowing where I stood, and they took 15 minutes out of their day to give me clear, practical advice. That quarter of an hour saved me an enormous amount of time, money and stress and it was given generously, with no pressure and no strings attached. Genuinely good people who care about helping, not just billing. Highly recommend.
