Process serving
Professional service of legal documents
Process serving is the formal delivery of legal documents to individuals or organisations involved in court proceedings. This ensures that the recipient is properly notified and has the opportunity to respond, as required by law.
Clients typically instruct us when legal documents need to be served in a timely and compliant manner. We act swiftly and professionally, providing clear evidence of service through a certificate, statement, or sworn affidavit.
We undertake both straightforward serves of standard documents and more complex instructions, including urgent, time-synchronised, and multi-location service of documents across the UK and overseas. Our network of experienced agents enables us to coordinate sensitive or time-critical serves efficiently, regardless of jurisdiction.
If required, we can confirm a subject’s current address prior to service by conducting tracing enquiries. This ensures that documents are served at the correct location and reduces the risk of failed service attempts (view our tracing services).
