Process Serving

We provide a national and international process serving facility for solicitors, companies and private individuals on a fixed fee basis. 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 often need to be served personally in accordance with fixed Court rules. There are also circumstances in which, whilst the Court rules do not require personal service, it is highly advisable to instruct preocess servers because the Defendant may allege they did not receive documents if served via first class post as a general avoidance or delaying tactic to defend the claim. We have a team of highly experienced process servers in London, providing a high calibre nationwide and international process serving service to numerous law firms of all sizes.

Common circumstances where we are instructed for process serving are for service of :=

  • Writs
  • 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, our process servers know how to follow up matters should there be a denial that the individual(s) is at the address given.

Most process server instructions we deal with need to be affected urgently. Our services are provided throughout London, Essex, Herts, Middlesex across the U.K. and we also offer an international process serving facility. To provide us with an immediate process serving instruction, or for further information, please contact us.
