Our approach
We've put together a streamlined service that means we can respond to our clients' demands immediately. Whether you use our services for all your investigations or on a case by case basis, the same process will apply.

We offer an initial response time of two hours during the working day, appointing an appropriate investigator to see the case through. Employment law support, minute-takers and administration back-up are all available where necessary and a supervisor is appointed to oversee every case. All this is managed through our IT-based solution which makes tracking the progress of every case straightforward and simple to follow. We aim to produce a written report within seven days of taking on a case and then can, if necessary, present the case at tribunal.

We calculate costs based on the anticipated volume of work over 12 months and offer generous discounts for substantial workloads. We put service level agreements in place which we always strive to exceed.
