Personal Investigations

A personal investigation is a confidential enquiry conducted for an individual who needs reliable information about a private matter. It may involve person tracing, missing-person enquiries, identity verification, personal background checks, locating witnesses, ground enquiries or gathering evidence for a private dispute. Every assignment is planned according to the client’s circumstances and lawful objectives.

We assist with matters such as locating an uncontactable individual, verifying personal information, identifying inconsistencies in a person’s background, locating a witness or documenting relevant activity connected to a private dispute. Because every situation is different, we review the available information before confirming whether the requested work is lawful, practical and within our professional scope.

Yes. We may use historical information, lawful research, known addresses, employment connections and ground enquiries to develop leads and establish the person’s possible current location. Results depend on the accuracy of the starting information and the individual’s circumstances. Where there is an immediate concern for someone’s safety, the matter should first be reported to the police.

We examine relevant information through lawful and appropriate sources to verify identity, personal history and declared details. Where necessary, inconsistencies may be developed through further research or ground enquiries. The scope depends on the purpose of the check, the information available and any applicable privacy restrictions. We do not obtain information through hacking, impersonation or unlawful access.

Our investigations are generally conducted discreetly, and we do not contact the subject unless direct engagement forms part of an agreed and appropriate strategy. However, no investigation can guarantee that a subject will never become aware of enquiries. Our investigators plan each assignment carefully to minimise unnecessary exposure while remaining within legal and professional boundaries.

You will receive a clear summary or investigation report setting out the relevant enquiries conducted, information verified and observations made. Where applicable, the findings may be supported by photographs, videos, location information or other relevant materials. The report is prepared for personal review and may also be shared with your lawyer where professional advice is required.
