Frequently asked questions

Before you instruct us.

Is the first conversation confidential?

Enquiries are treated discreetly. Share only a brief outline initially; identity, lawful purpose and secure information transfer can be addressed before detailed material is provided.

Will you undertake any request?

No. Requests involving harassment, unlawful tracking, account access, deception, intimidation or an absence of appropriate lawful purpose will be refused.

How quickly can work begin?

This depends on availability, risk, travel and preparation. No operational commitment is made until scope and terms are agreed.

Do you guarantee a particular result?

No. Investigations establish and report facts available through lawful, proportionate methods; a particular finding cannot be guaranteed.
