In certain cases, yes. Information obtained through a private investigation may be relevant to a legal dispute and used in preparing a legal position, identifying evidence, locating witnesses, documents, assets, and other facts material to the case.

If litigation is being considered from the outset, this should be communicated at the initial stage. Collecting information for potential court use requires a different approach to documenting facts, recording sources, and structuring the final report.

In such matters, we organize our work with future interaction in mind — whether with legal counsel, law enforcement authorities, or the court.

Confidentiality is one of the core principles of our work. We do not disclose the fact of a client’s engagement, the substance of the assignment, or the information obtained in the course of our work to third parties, except where required by law or under contractual obligations.

To protect our clients’ interests, we organize each matter in a way that minimizes the risk of disclosure: communications are handled individually, access to project materials is restricted, and secure methods of data storage and transfer are used.

The agency’s principal is based in Kaliningrad. In-person meetings can also be arranged in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Omsk through our representatives.

Most assignments involving information gathering and analysis can be handled remotely, which allows us to work with clients across Russia and internationally.

If needed, we are also available for an initial discussion by video call.

Depending on the nature of the assignment, the result is delivered as a final PDF document. This may take one of the following forms:

1. brief report — where a concise summary of the key findings is sufficient;
2. detailed report — where the assignment requires greater depth, supporting detail, and source-based context;
3. analytical report — where the matter calls for deeper analysis, data correlation, and, where appropriate, link analysis or visual mapping of relationships.

The format is selected based on the nature of the assignment and the intended use of the information obtained.
