International Investigation Services

PDL is a London-based Private Detective Agency leading the way in both UK and International Investigations.

Operating from Mayfair, London, we provide top quality International Investigation Services to both individual and corporate clients worldwide. These include:

Uniquely Positioned

With over 30 years’ experience, the latest state-of-the-art technology, plus trusted partnerships in over 60 countries, we are uniquely positioned to offer a full range of highly effective Investigation Services worldwide.

Whether you are UK-based and require an investigation abroad, or if you are based overseas and require investigations within the UK, we have both the in-house experience and global partnerships to efficiently conduct investigations on your behalf. 

We will, of course, also assist you if your case spans multiple nations simultaneously.

International Investigation Experts

Our Private Detectives and trusted partners are experts in International Investigations. We also operate within a flawless code of ethics and discretion for which we’re very well known.

Foreign and global matters can, of course, bring unique challenges. These include various different local jurisdictions, language barriers, travel and cultural issues, and many more. But with our backgrounds in Policing, the Military, the Civil Service and Government, our Private Detectives are ideally equipped to manage these challenges when managing your case.

Highest Standards of Service

At PDL we only work with the very best in the business – those who meet the standards we require to uphold our proud reputation. Our staff need to be legally and ethically exemplary, diligent, hard-working, uniquely skilled, and highly experienced. And they are.

As a consequence, our Private Detectives and trusted partners fully understand the importance of our work to our clients’ success – personally and professionally. This responsibility is always at the forefront of our minds.

Recent International Investigation Cases

To give you a quick flavour of the type of work we undertake, here are some examples of recent international investigations conducted by PDL: 

  • An American law firm instructed us on a process-serving operation. This specifically involved serving legal documents to another company at both of its offices – one in the UK and another in The Netherlands.
  • tracing case in which an international client instructed us to locate a UK-based individual. We were able to establish that the individual was no longer in the UK and was now in the USA. We worked alongside one of our trusted USA-based partners to successfully locate the individual.
  • An Asset Investigation spanning multiple countries in which we utilised both our UK team and our global partnerships to track and recover the assets in question.
  • Conducting due diligence remotely from our London office using the latest software, algorithms and intelligence databases to get the results needed via desk investigation only.

International Investigations: Legality & Ethics

Conducting International Investigations introduces an added layer of complexity to cases, requiring investigators to thoroughly understand and navigate the legal variations between countries.

At PDL, we never compromise on our commitment to Legality, Ethics, Data Protection, and Due Diligence. That is why we uphold the highest standards at all times, even consulting our highly knowledgeable International Legal Counsel on complex cases to ensure that we’re always within the law.

In this way – and with the help of our trusted global partners – we ensure that we can make the same promises and assurances to clients anywhere in the world.

We also consider Data Protection to be of the utmost importance and we use the most secure email servers and drive storage available. 

Furthermore, we always undertake Due Diligence before any investigation, to ensure all parties completely understand all elements and details of the process.

Our Trusted Partners Worldwide

From our base in the Mayfair district of London, we cover both the UK and worldwide.

We have a network of trusted partners in over 60 countries around the globe, meaning we can conduct ‘on-the-ground’ operations in a range of nations. 

We carefully select our trusted partners in these countries with the same diligence we use when hiring our in-house UK team, or indeed conducting any of our investigative operations.
