While the majority of our instructions come from solicitors and insolvency practitioners, we do work directly with private individuals in certain circumstances.
Given the sensitive nature of our work and our obligations under data protection and industry compliance standards, we're only able to take on instructions from private clients where there is a clear and lawful basis for the enquiry. This typically requires:
Confirmation that a solicitor is already instructed on the matter, or written evidence of the legal basis for the investigation (such as a court order, active proceedings, or a fraud reference number)
A clear explanation of why the information is required and how it will be used
Completion of our standard risk assessment and conflict check, carried out on every instruction regardless of client type
If you're a private individual with a legitimate need for our services, get in touch and we'll talk through what's required before proceeding. If you don't yet have a solicitor instructed and believe you may need one, we're happy to point you in the right direction.
