Investigations

Licensed private investigations

Background checks, locate and skip-trace work, and process service — discreet fact-finding, documented to a standard that holds up when it is read by somebody other than you.
Send a confidential enquiry

Confidential from the first contact

What you tell us in an enquiry stays between us, whether or not you go ahead. We will ask how it is safe to reach you before we reach you.

Lawful methods only

Everything we do has to survive being examined later. Evidence gathered improperly is worse than no evidence — it can damage the matter it was meant to help.

Documented for someone else to read

Findings are written up so they stand on their own in front of counsel, an insurer, or a court, rather than needing us in the room to explain them.

Case types

What people come to us to find out

A focused practice rather than a long list: finding people, verifying who they are, and getting documents into their hands. If what you need is adjacent to this, ask anyway — most enquiries do not arrive neatly categorised.

Background investigations & background checks

Verifying who you are about to hire, partner with, lease to, lend to, or buy from — before the decision rather than after it. Records research and identity verification, documented so the file stands on its own.

Locate & skip-trace work

Finding people who are hard to find: witnesses, heirs, debtors, former tenants, and parties to a matter who have moved on without leaving a forwarding address.

Information connected to a name, number, or address

You have one detail and need to know what it connects to. A name, a phone number, an address, a vehicle — we work outward from the identifier you already have.

Process service

Getting legal documents into the right hands and documenting that it happened, including where the party is evasive or has to be located first.

These four are the matters we take on right now. If you need something outside them, say so and we will tell you straight rather than take the case.

Enquiry

Tell us what you need to find out

A short summary is enough to start. We will tell you honestly whether it is something we can help with, what it would involve, and what it would cost — before you commit to anything.

What we will ask you next

  • What outcome would actually resolve this for you
  • Who else already knows you are looking into it
  • Any deadline — a hearing, a filing, a decision date
  • What you have already tried or already have

Including whether it is safe to leave a message.
