Services
We measure our success by our clients’ satisfaction. Archer, Cummings & Co. guarantees personal consultations, excellent case management and well trained, experienced staff who support our partners in providing legal services in the following areas:
Civil & Criminal Litigations
We offer the highest levels of representation to our clients from the Resident Magistrate Court through to the Privy Council. We endeavour always to do our professional best in the handling of our cases, which includes thorough research and legal opinions, as well as careful and strategic execution of all matters.
Conveyance & Real Estate
It is very important to have an attorney assist you in the purchase or sale of real estate in Jamaica. We will help you to determine if the party selling the land has the right to do so, or if there are factors that might prevent you from obtaining a mortgage or re-selling the property. We will guide you through the entire transaction.
Corporate
Understanding contracts and how they protect you is very important for individuals and corporations alike. If you are an investor, small business operator or a corporate executive we will help you to maneuver the complexities of corporate operations and the obligations of principals, shareholders, employees and other interests. We also incorporate companies and provide guidance in the process of establishing new companies.
Divorce & Family Law
Family law deals with matters such as marriages, civil and domestic unions, divorce, spousal abuse, child abuse, custody of children, annulment, alimony and property settlement, among others. We can offer advice and act where necessary to ensure that your interests are secured, in both local and transnational cases.
Entertainment & Sports
If you are involved in the entertainment or sports industries you may require legal advice on contracts, work permits, right of publicity etc. These industries are becoming more regulated in Jamaica and there are laws in place, which if not observed, can have significant financial and legal ramifications. Our practice in this area covers employment and labour, immigration, securities and insurance and the management of individuals.
Immigration
We have experience dealing with cases that involve breaches of the Aliens Act, the Immigration Restriction (Commonwealth Citizens) Act and the Foreign Nations and Commonwealth Citizens (Employment) Act. Our immigrations services are also for persons interested in migrating to the United States of America, the United Kingdom and to Jamaica.
Personal Injury
If you have suffered an injury caused by an accident, assault or negligence, we can assist you whether or not you are able to afford the retainer initially. Traffic accidents, assault and work-related accidents are the most common types of personal injury. Medically related accidents can also be classified under personal injury. In each of these cases, if the accident is caused by someone’s negligence the injured party may be entitled to monetary compensation.
Tax
Our role is mainly consultative in this area of our practice. However, in cases where litigation is required we have the experience to protect the interests of our clients and to work out reduced settlement of these cases with the Tax Administration Department.
At Archer, Cummings & Co. our goal is to provide cost effective, professional and personal legal counsel. Our clients are never surprised on the courthouse steps and have an open invitation to consult with us at any time. We make ourselves available and accessible to our clients where possible.
