Litigation is rarely straightforward. Even with a strong legal strategy, success in court can hinge on the availability – and reliability – of evidence. Witnesses disappear, crucial documents go missing and opposing parties often present facts selectively. In such cases, litigation support becomes an essential part of building a robust argument.
Private investigators play a key role in helping solicitors and legal teams uncover the information they need to progress a case. By carrying out professional, lawful investigations, they can help fill in the gaps and provide clarity where it’s most needed.
Strengthening a Case Through Investigation
Legal teams are excellent at interpreting and applying the law, but they are not always equipped to carry out detailed investigative work. That’s where private investigators come in. Working alongside solicitors, they provide support in areas such as:
Locating and interviewing witnesses
Tracking down individuals who have moved, changed names or left the country can be time-consuming and complex. Investigators can trace and approach witnesses professionally and discreetly, helping secure valuable testimony.
Gathering and verifying evidence
Whether it’s reviewing documents, analysing timelines, or verifying claims made in a dispute, investigators can test the accuracy of information presented in a case.
Conducting surveillance
In claims involving personal injury, misconduct, or breach of contract, surveillance (carried out within legal parameters) can provide clear evidence to support or challenge a claim.
Background and asset checks
Knowing more about the opposing party’s past dealings, business interests or available assets can influence strategy – especially in commercial disputes or enforcement situations.
All of this can save valuable time for legal teams, while also helping to uncover information that may otherwise be missed.
Litigation Support That Makes a Difference
The success of a legal case often depends on the ability to present the full picture. That means having the right information, gathered and verified in a way that can stand up in court. For many legal teams, partnering with a professional investigator provides that vital extra layer of insight.
