Locating a witness who has gone quiet, and independently verifying their background and credibility before they are relied on.
Legal teams routinely need to locate a witness who has moved, changed contact details, or simply stopped responding, and separately need to understand whether a witness's own background could undermine their credibility before opposing counsel finds it first. Both problems are common and both are more effectively handled before a witness statement is finalised or exchanged than after, when surprises in cross-examination carry the highest cost.
Location tracing for a witness who cannot currently be reached, combined with an independent credibility assessment covering relevant background, prior statements, and any public record that could affect how their evidence is received.
Current address and contact tracing for witnesses who have moved or gone quiet
Public record checks relevant to credibility, including prior statements
Adverse media or online activity that could be raised in cross-examination
A clear, factual assessment rather than a subjective opinion on believability
Findings delivered in a form your legal team can act on directly
Lawful public record and open-source research for location tracing, combined with structured background verification against known credibility risk factors, with every finding verified by a named analyst before it is reported.
Findings are built entirely from publicly available information and lawfully obtained records. Where a witness has taken active steps to avoid being located, this is reported honestly rather than pursued through unlawful means.
No. It identifies factual background, prior inconsistent statements, relevant convictions, financial interest in the outcome, that your legal team can weigh, rather than offering a subjective opinion on truthfulness.
Yes, and this is a common and prudent use, identifying issues with your own witness before opposing counsel does.
No. It is equally relevant in family proceedings, employment tribunals, and any matter where a witness's evidence and reliability materially affects the outcome.
That is reported clearly, along with what was attempted, so your legal team can decide on alternative strategies such as a hearsay application or substitute evidence.
Every enquiry is reviewed by an analyst and routed to a scoping call, a fixed fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
