Working with a private investigator or investigative agency always requires a high level of trust. For that reason, we structure our client relationships around legal status, a transparent working process, confidentiality, and professional responsibility.
Official Status
The agency is led by a licensed private investigator. It operates on a lawful basis, and its registration and licensing details can be verified through public sources, including official and commercial registries. During an in-person meeting or video call, we confirm our status and provide the necessary identifying information.
Further information about the agency’s principal, the agency itself, and media coverage can be found on the About the Agency page.
Work Under Contract
A formal agreement for investigative services is entered into with every client. This applies both to one-off assignments and to longer-term engagements, including corporate matters and outsourced security support.
A contractual framework allows the scope of work, the format of interaction, confidentiality obligations, and financial terms to be defined in advance.
Confidentiality
We treat confidentiality as an essential professional standard. 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 outside the limits of the law and our contractual obligations.
Access to project materials is restricted, and each matter is organized in a way that minimizes the risk of disclosure at every stage — from the initial approach to the delivery of the final result.
Lawful Conduct and Professional Boundaries
We work exclusively through lawful methods and verifiable sources. We do not accept assignments that conflict with the law, professional ethics, or our principles of work.
Before accepting a matter, we assess it from both a legal and ethical perspective in order to determine whether it can be handled properly.
Clear Process of Interaction
The client understands who is handling the matter, how the work is structured, and what stage the project has reached. At the conclusion of the assignment, the result is delivered in a structured format suitable for managerial use, internal review, negotiation strategy, or work with legal advisers.
Reputation and Verifiability
We do not conceal our identity, we openly provide information about the agency’s principal, and we operate within clear professional boundaries rather than through anonymity or unrealistic promises.
If a client wishes to verify the reliability of the agency in advance, they may review the registration details, licence, media coverage, and other publicly available information before the engagement begins.
Beware of scammers! How to check the reliability of a detective before ordering?
Detective activity in the Russian Federation is a licensed activity. Check the availability of a private detective license before starting work.
The head of the detective agency “Panther” is a licensed private detective Sedykh Alexey Ivanovich. You can easily see if we are licensed by going to link to the website of the Russian Federal Guard of the Russian Federation. In the search bar, enter the detective's last name or TIN.
Check licenseUnder Russian law, private investigation activities must be conducted by licensed private detectives operating as individual entrepreneurs. Our agency operates in full compliance with these legal requirements.
Our primary registered activity under the Russian business classification system (OKVED) is 80.30 — Investigation Activities, which covers professional investigative services.
Check OKVEDCheck the agency's phone number in the GetContact and NumBuster apps. This is free of charge. This way you will accomplish two things: first, make sure that there is no negative information about the prospective service provider; second, make sure that he is really a private investigator, and not a cab driver who decided that he can do detective work.
More about the agencyEveryone knows that positive reviews can be easily faked, but there are 2 important nuances that you should keep in mind: first - the absence of negative reviews in the presence of neutral and positive - this is a good sign, because it is very difficult, and often impossible to remove negative reviews in the services of the same “Yandex”.
Second - pay attention to the content of reviews, their frequency and period of publication. This will help you identify a “one-day” company.
Feedback from our customersA final point that is less relevant to vetting a potential performer for the role of detective. But it is important at the stage of communication with him. If in the course of a telephone conversation you are told that the contract in view of the specifics of the order is not concluded or (even worse) private detective is not ready for a personal meeting or video call, with a high probability in front of you a fraudster.
Our agency concludes a contract on the provision of detective services with each client.
