Our Legal Support Service
INSIGNIS Investigations provides a reliable and efficient process serving service across the UK and internationally where required. Our aim is to make a first service attempt within 24 hours where possible, with follow-up visits carried out as necessary depending on the instruction.
Once service has been effected, we complete the relevant Affidavit, Certificate of Service, or Statement of Service and keep clients updated throughout. Our process serving work is carried out professionally, promptly, and with clear regard to the requirements of the matter.
Where a person needs to be located before service can take place, our tracing and search skills can assist in establishing their whereabouts, subject to a lawful and legitimate basis for the enquiry.
INSIGNIS Investigations provides criminal defence investigation support for solicitors and legal teams acting on behalf of clients facing criminal allegations. We understand that defence matters require careful, proactive, and methodical investigation, particularly where important lines of enquiry may not have been fully explored.
Our work may include tracing and re-interviewing witnesses, revisiting locations, reviewing continuity of evidence, identifying inconsistencies, examining digital material, considering other material, and gathering evidence that may assist the defence case.
We focus on obtaining and preserving evidence properly, while supporting legal teams with discreet, professional, and evidence-led enquiries. Where appropriate, our work may assist solicitors in assessing the strength of the evidence, understanding the circumstances of an allegation, and identifying new lines of enquiry that may be relevant to the defence.
In criminal matters, decisions regarding prosecution, charge, conviction, or whether there is a realistic prospect of conviction sit with the police, Crown Prosecution Service, court, and relevant authorities. Our role is to investigate, gather information lawfully, and provide reliable findings to assist the instructed legal team.
Tracing services support legal, private, and commercial clients who need to locate an individual for a lawful and legitimate reason. This may include tracing debtors, absconders, former employees, previous tenants, defence witnesses, beneficiaries connected to an estate, or a person involved in an ongoing legal matter.
From straightforward electronic traces to more detailed trace and confirm enquiries, INSIGNIS Investigations provides a discreet and professional service tailored to the circumstances of the case. Every tracing instruction is assessed carefully and handled with due regard to lawful process, privacy, compliance, and the purpose of the enquiry.
We aim to obtain as much information as reasonably possible before carrying out enquiries, helping us decide the most appropriate approach and reduce unnecessary risk.
INSIGNIS Investigations provides professional support in cases involving stalking and harassment, particularly where evidence may be needed to support police action, legal proceedings, safeguarding procedures, or wider protective steps. We understand the serious and sensitive nature of these matters and approach every case with discretion, care, and professionalism.
Depending on the circumstances, our work may include evidential observation, behaviour pattern monitoring, witness statement taking, tracing relevant individuals, reviewing digital evidence, and gathering intelligence to support the client’s legal position.
Where appropriate, we assist in preserving information in a clear and structured way for evidential use. This may help clients, lawyers, employers, or relevant authorities understand the pattern of behaviour, assess risk, and decide on the most appropriate next steps.
INSIGNIS Investigations can support enquiries connected to a wide range of matters, including fraud and financial crime, assault, theft, drugs, public order, sexual offences, motoring matters, serious violence, conspiracy cases, regulatory matters, internal investigations, and allegations involving employers or businesses.
Our role is to assist clients by gathering evidence, identifying relevant material, securing witness accounts, and helping establish the facts. In certain circumstances, this may involve reviewing available documentation, carrying out enquiries, locating witnesses, considering digital material, or supporting the legal team with a clear factual report.
Every legal investigation is conducted with a professional understanding of confidentiality, lawful process, compliance, and the responsibility involved in dealing with sensitive information.
