Practical Nationwide Process Serving
A nationwide instruction does not need to mean managing multiple contacts. Assist Process Serving provides a central point of contact from initial enquiry through to completion.
Our team can review the documents, address details, deadline and any relevant court directions before arranging the appropriate service instruction. This can be particularly helpful where a legal team needs documents served in several locations or where the recipient is believed to have moved away from the original address.
We have particular experience with sensitive instructions, including Non-Molestation Orders, Occupation Orders and other protective court orders. These matters are handled respectfully and with appropriate discretion.
Assist Process Serving does not provide legal advice. If you need advice about the document, the correct method of service or your case, please speak with your solicitor, the court or another relevant professional.
