Intellectual Property Investigations

We suspected a warehouse manager was stealing stock but had no proof. UKPI set up covert surveillance and within two weeks we had everything we needed. The evidence was so clear that the disciplinary process was straightforward. We estimated the theft had cost us over forty thousand pounds.

A former sales director had set up a competing business while still employed by us. UKPI gathered evidence of client poaching, use of our confidential data, and breach of his restrictive covenants. Our solicitors said the investigation report was one of the most thorough they had seen.

We needed due diligence on a potential acquisition target. The published accounts did not tell the full story. UKPI uncovered several undisclosed liabilities and regulatory issues that would have been extremely costly. Their report saved us from making a very expensive mistake.
