About Us

There has been an Archers Law practice in Stockton-on-Tees since 1860 when C J Archer opened his office on the High Street. Over the next 40 years he built his reputation by representing many of the successful businesses in the area and their owners, a tradition still continued today!

In 1908 C J Archer went into partnership with Agar Parkin and subsequently that firm, then known as Archer, Parkin & Archer, merged in 1920 with the family firm of Charles Townsend (an England cricketer, as was his son David) to become Archer, Parkin & Townsend.

Some years later in 1988 the firm shortened its name to Archers following a merger with Crute Kennedy based in Washington, Tyne & Wear.

In 1995 the decision was taken to consolidate operations at the firm’s Stockton-on-Tees office, as a more central base to serve the needs of clients from Durham, Cleveland and North Yorkshire, as well as Tyneside, Northumberland and further afield.

Archers Law became a Limited Liability Partnership in 2004. In December 2006 we moved to purpose built offices at Bowesfield Park which has ample parking is conveniently located between Ingleby Barwick and Stockton town centre and within easy reach of all major travel links.

Whilst much has happened over the last 150 years some things haven’t changed. Archers Law maintain their aims of providing the highest quality of legal advice and service and to become the "the preferred choice" for both businesses and individuals in the Tees Valley.
