Process Serving

We provide a national and international process serving facility for solicitors, companies and private individuals. Our process servers are able to serve your important legal documents anywhere in the U.K, generally at short notice. We can also arrange service abroad.

Important legal documents need to be served personally and rapidly in accordance with fixed Court rules.

There are also circumstances in which, whilst the Court rules do not stipulate personal service, it is highly advisable to instruct process servers due to suspicion that the other party may allege they did not receive documents if served via first class post as a general avoidance or delaying tactic.

We have a team of highly experienced process servers providing a UK and international (for international process serving, please click here)  high calibre process serving service to numerous law firms of all sizes.

Common circumstances in which we are instructed for process serving relate to :-

  • Summons or Claims forms
  • Divorce petitions
  • Court Orders
  • Statutory demands
  • Bankruptcy or winding up petitions
  • Family proceedings
  • Injunctions

Process serving may appear (and sometimes is) straightforward. However, adherence to the rules of the Court is paramount, in particular where an application for deemed service subsequently needs to be made. There are also many occasions where the individual(s) to be served will actively seek to evade service. At Blackhawk, we do not operate a bulk process serving operation, instead, we are known for achieving results on high value or important cases where difficulties are anticipated.

Most process server instructions we deal with need to be affected urgently.  To provide us with an immediate process serving instruction, or for further information, please contact us.
