When you need answers to a sensitive personal matter, support with a legal case or help investigating a business concern, knowing who to trust matters. The right private investigator can help you establish the facts, gather relevant information and understand your options before deciding what to do next.
At Assist Investigations, we provide professional private investigator services for individuals, businesses and legal professionals throughout London, West London, Windsor, Berkshire and across the UK.
Founded by Erika Morris, who has sixteen years of policing experience, our private investigation agency brings together former police officers with practical knowledge of investigations, witness interviews and evidence gathering.
Whether you’re trying to locate someone, need documents served, require surveillance or have concerns about employee conduct, we’ll take time to understand your circumstances and explain how we may be able to help.
We know that contacting a private detective isn’t always an easy decision. That’s why we focus on clear communication, discretion and a straightforward approach from your first enquiry.
Not every investigation begins with a clear allegation or a straightforward question. Sometimes you have conflicting information, a concern you can’t resolve or a legal obligation that requires professional assistance.
Our experienced private investigators work with clients facing a wide range of circumstances, from missing persons and debtor tracing to corporate investigations, surveillance and legal document support.
We approach each enquiry individually, considering what you already know, what you need to establish and which investigative services may be appropriate.
The aim is to help you move forward with a clearer understanding of the facts, without making assumptions or promising a particular outcome.
Assist Investigations offers a range of private investigations services for businesses, legal professionals and individuals. Whether you need help with a specific task or a more involved investigation, we can discuss the most suitable approach.
When legal documents need to be served, accuracy, timing and clear communication are important.

We understand that some matters are time-sensitive and that reliable communication is essential throughout the process.
Accurate witness accounts can play an important role in legal proceedings and other investigations.

With experience in investigative interviewing, our team understands the importance of careful questioning and recording information clearly.
Suspected employee misconduct, unexplained losses or concerns about a commercial relationship can leave businesses facing difficult decisions.
Our corporate investigations provide investigative support for organisations seeking to establish facts surrounding sensitive workplace and business matters.
We work with business owners, companies and legal professionals who need a considered approach to internal concerns, suspected wrongdoing and other commercial enquiries.

Our surveillance services support individuals and organisations with matters including suspected infidelity, employee misconduct, insurance concerns and personal injury investigations.
We use discreet investigative methods, appropriate equipment and detailed reporting, with surveillance planned around the circumstances and applicable legal requirements.
Finding someone can be difficult when contact details are outdated, a person has moved or attempts to establish their whereabouts have been unsuccessful.
Our tracing services support enquiries involving missing persons, debtors and individuals who need to be located for legitimate personal, business or legal reasons.
If you’re trying to reconnect with someone or need assistance locating an individual, we can discuss your circumstances and the information available.
Making recruitment decisions can involve reviewing information supplied by prospective employees.

Different clients need different kinds of support. A personal investigator helping with a sensitive family matter will face different requirements from an investigator supporting a solicitor or a company dealing with suspected misconduct.
We tailor our approach to the purpose of the enquiry, the available information and the client’s objectives.
Personal matters can be emotionally difficult, particularly when they involve relationships, missing people or uncertainty about someone’s activities.
You may be concerned about a partner, trying to reconnect with a family member or seeking information that you haven’t been able to obtain yourself.
Our private investigators offer a professional and approachable service, giving you the opportunity to explain your concerns and understand what investigative options may be available.
Business investigations often involve sensitive information, workplace relationships or concerns that could affect important decisions.
We support companies requiring assistance with employee misconduct, surveillance, tracing, pre-employment checks and other investigative enquiries.
Our team understands the importance of establishing clear objectives before work begins, particularly where an investigation may involve employees, customers or commercial relationships.
Legal matters can depend on accurate information, reliable communication and timely investigative assistance.
Assist Investigations works with solicitors, barristers and other legal professionals requiring services such as process serving, witness statements, tracing and surveillance.
Our policing background and practical investigative experience inform the way we approach evidence gathering, interviewing and documenting relevant information.
Choosing between private investigation companies isn’t simply about finding someone willing to take on your case. You need an investigation firm that listens carefully, explains the proposed work and keeps you informed.
Assist Investigations was founded by Erika Morris, who brings sixteen years of policing experience across a range of investigative roles.
Erika and her team of former officers have experience investigating matters, interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence.
That background supports a practical, considered approach to private investigations, where accuracy and attention to detail matter.
Every enquiry comes with its own circumstances, priorities and concerns.
Whether you’re contacting us as a private individual, a business representative or a legal professional, we take time to understand what you need before recommending a service.
You won’t be expected to know exactly which type of investigation to request. Our initial consultation is an opportunity to discuss the situation and determine an appropriate next step.
We understand how frustrating it can be to commission a service and then be left wondering what’s happening.
Our process includes an initial consultation, a written proposal and regular updates once an investigation is underway.
You’ll have the opportunity to review the proposed work, anticipated timescale and associated costs before making a decision.
Assist Investigations lists memberships of the following professional organisations:
Association of British Investigators: A professional association within the private investigation industry.
Institute of Professional Investigators: An organisation representing investigative professionals.
UK Private Investigator Network: A network within the private investigation sector.
These professional connections form part of our commitment to maintaining a considered and responsible approach to investigative work.
Whether you need an independent investigator for a personal matter or specialist assistance with a business enquiry, knowing what to expect can make the process easier.
We’ll discuss your circumstances, the information already available and what you want to establish.
This conversation also covers your preferred timescale, budget and any practical considerations relevant to the enquiry.
Following the consultation, we’ll prepare a proposal outlining the recommended investigation service, anticipated timescale and associated costs.
You’ll be able to review the details before deciding whether to proceed.
Once the proposal has been approved, the relevant terms of business, privacy policies and any additional documentation will need to be agreed, signed and returned.
This ensures the necessary arrangements are in place before work begins.
With the agreements completed, our investigators can begin the agreed work.
We provide regular updates throughout the investigation, helping you understand progress and keeping the work aligned with your objectives.
