We have had the pleasure of dealing with Archer Thompson for over 15 years, during which time we have found them to be extremely knowledgeable employment lawyers.  We appreciate Archer Thompson’s efficiency, candour, common sense and commercial approach to outcomes, and endorse Richard and his team without reservation.

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.
