That background informs the way we work: understanding the task, preparing thoroughly and paying attention to the details that matter.

Will my enquiry be treated confidentially?
We handle enquiries discreetly and use the information you provide to assess and respond to your request. Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled and when disclosure may be required.
How much does an investigation cost?
Costs depend on the objective, location, time and resources required. We discuss the proposed work and provide a quotation outlining fees, any estimated expenses and payment terms before you decide whether to proceed.
What kind of matters do you investigate for private clients?
Private instructions may include suspected infidelity, concerns about a partner’s movements or associations, tracing a person, monitoring compliance with court orders or restrictions, and establishing facts relevant to sensitive family or civil matters. Every enquiry is assessed for legality, necessity and proportionality before work is accepted.
Can a solicitor, insurer or business instruct you?
Yes. A substantial proportion of the assignments we undertake are for solicitors, insurers, businesses and other professional clients. We can work to a defined brief, deadline and reporting requirement, with the proposed scope and costs agreed before instruction.
