Process serving in London is the formal delivery of legal documents, carried out in line with the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR). Our experienced London process servers act for solicitors, businesses, private clients, and the courts, ensuring documents are served correctly and proof of service is provided. Where recipients are evasive, we use tracing methods or apply for substituted service to complete delivery in full compliance with the rules.

What Exactly Does a London Process Server Do, and Why Is Professional Service So Important?
A process server in London is a trained professional responsible for officially delivering court documents – such as claim forms, injunctions, and statutory demands – to individuals or organisations. This ensures the documents have legal standing and can be enforced. By entrusting this task to specialists, you significantly reduce the risk of incorrect service, rejected filings, and delays in your legal proceedings. For instance, correctly serving a non-molestation order can be the difference between a contested hearing and swift judicial compliance. Understanding this role is key to appreciating the range of documents we serve across Greater London.

A London process server undertakes three primary functions:

This meticulous combination of verification, delivery, and documentation ensures that every service attempt is legally sound, leading us naturally to the variety of documents we handle.

Compliance with Civil Procedure Rules and GDPR in Legal Document Service
Process serving in England and Wales is governed by the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), which dictate how legal documents, such as summonses, complaints, and insolvency demands, must be served and within what timeframe.

Additionally, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) sets out specific legal obligations for businesses regarding how personal data is collected, stored, and processed, emphasizing transparency, security, and individual rights.
