Private intelligence · United Kingdom
Clarity in
sensitive matters.
Discreet investigation and intelligence for private clients, businesses and their legal advisers.
We establish facts, assess the evidence and report what can be substantiated. Each instruction begins with a confidential conversation.

Our work
The right approach
to your instruction.
Different circumstances call for different methods. We start with the question you need answered and establish what can lawfully and realistically be done.
Private clients
Personal concerns, tracing people and dealing with online threats. A measured approach to matters that require care and discretion.
Businesses & advisers
Evidence for commercial decisions, internal concerns and legal matters. Clear scope, agreed reporting and findings your advisers can assess.
Research, human intelligence and digital investigation underpin our work.
All services and capabilitiesClient security
Discretion from
first contact.
Confidentiality begins with how you contact us. We agree the appropriate communication arrangements before sensitive information is exchanged.
Our approach to client security- You set the contact arrangements.
- Safe call times agreed with you. No voicemail unless you ask. Our first response to a form enquiry is by email.
- Sensitive details can wait.
- A brief outline is enough at first. We arrange an appropriate secure channel before you share evidence or detailed allegations.
- Privacy has practical limits.
- Visits and messages can leave records on shared devices or accounts. Our guidance explains these risks before you make contact.
