- suspected infidelity
- cohabitation investigations

- locating former tenants
- finding defendants before legal action
- tracing witnesses
- reconnecting with family members
We use a combination of investigative tools and data analysis to identify current address information supported by recent activity.
Where appropriate, we offer No Trace, No Fee tracing, meaning the fee is not payable if a current address cannot be identified.

- suspected insurance fraud
- staged or exaggerated injury claims
- employee dishonesty

- internal business investigations
Where surveillance is appropriate, it can be used to test the accuracy of claims and provide evidence of actual activity.
Our approach is evidence-led. We focus on establishing facts rather than assumptions.
Employee and Workplace Investigations

We assist businesses in Darlington with:
- suspected misuse of sick leave

Legal cases often depend on evidence. Our role is to help provide information that strengthens a client’s position and supports informed decision-making.
