Witness Interviewing Expertise: Strategic, Thorough, and Trusted
We offer a distinct advantage over many legal professionals and in-house teams involved in internal investigations, thanks to our mature, highly trained, and experienced approach to witness interviewing.
Our method is strategically structured, analytical, and thorough. We are friendly and patient, but ask challenging, well-crafted questions designed not only to surface the strengths of a case but also to probe and identify potential weaknesses. This balanced approach ensures that legal teams are equipped with reliable, well-rounded evidence.
Solicitors, public access barristers, and HR business partners consistently value our work, recognising the clarity, structure, and depth of the information we provide. Our goal is to produce interview outputs that require minimal further work prior to case management or trial preparation—such as converting material into Criminal Procedure Rules (CrimPR) or Civil Procedure Rules (CPR)-compliant witness statements.
We work closely with clients to ensure that the evidence gathered is clear, unambiguous, and complete. This often involves in-depth conferences to secure essential context, background, and supporting material.
While we do not provide legal advice, we bring a strong working knowledge of criminal law, developed through successful completion of police promotion examinations and extensive field experience.
Clients sometimes hesitate to reveal potential weaknesses in a case. We encourage transparency, emphasising that addressing vulnerabilities early strengthens legal strategy. Our interviews ensure that both strengths and weaknesses are accurately reflected in formal statements, supported by appropriate exhibits.
Our versatility stems from real-world, frontline experience, including:
We also provide clear, practical guidance to witnesses—helping them prepare documentation and information ahead of legal conferences.
Our methodology aligns with legal standards and case law, including R v Turnbull, ensuring the evidence we gather is balanced, credible, and able to withstand courtroom scrutiny.
