About Us

History

Archer & Archer was established in 1785 by Thomas Pennystone Archer, and has operated from its existing premises in Market Place, Ely since 1832. The firm has traditionally maintained strong links with the local community with several past partners having sat on local councils, and two having held the posts of Mayor of Ely and High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire.

Our Approach

Our aim at Archer & Archer is always to provide the highest levels of client care and quality of service.

We are able to deliver a broad range of legal services, via our lawyers all of whom are specialists either in one or a limited number of work areas.

Whether a business or an individual, we have both the resources and the expertise to meet the various needs of our clients in a professional and effective manner.

We believe in being open and clear when it comes to fees, and giving quotations or "best" estimates in all matters, at the very outset followed by regular costs updates. A free initial consultation may be available, and home or office visits can be undertaken if so required.
