This area covers serving civil court documents and other statutory papers, and locating individuals or assets when needed to progress enforcement. A solicitor practising Process Serving and Tracing coordinates service of process, instructs and supervises process servers, compiles proofs of service, and liaises with courts to obtain substitutions or extensions when proper service is challenged. They also advise on tracing subjects or assets, gather information from banks or public records, and coordinate with clients to meet strict deadlines during civil or commercial enforcement actions.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor handles the procedural framework, including obtaining summonses, notices, and warrants; arranging substituted or deemed service where appropriate; directing tracing activity; and ensuring evidence of service is robust for court applications. They manage interactions with process servers, court staff, and recipients, and oversee the timing of filings and responses to preserve client leverage in enforcement actions.
