Private detective in Paris: your investigation in the capital

Two million inhabitants, the densest transport network in Europe, some of the busiest courts in France: investigating in Paris is a specialty in itself. It is ours.

A successful Paris surveillance requires mastering the metro and RER (connections, multiple exits), through-buildings with double entrances, two-wheeler traffic and the density of café terraces where one can watch without being seen. Our detectives work this terrain daily from our agency at 10 rue de la Paix: within 30 minutes of any point in the capital.

The Paris courts

Our reports are written to be produced before the capital’s jurisdictions: the Paris Judicial Court and its family judges, the Paris Labour Court, the Paris Commercial Court and the Paris Court of Appeal. Knowing what each court expects guides how we draft our reports.

Typical Paris cases

  • High-stakes family cases: divorces, compensatory allowances and custody in the residential west
  • Unfair competition: Paris’s economic density makes it France’s first battleground
  • Employee surveillance: sick leave, double activities, disloyal notice periods
  • Support for the legal professions, the Paris bar counts over 30,000 lawyers: we are their arm in the field

For international clients

Foreign law firms, companies and individuals regularly need verifications in Paris: a spouse on assignment, a French business partner, a subsidiary, a property. As a WAD member, we work with correspondents worldwide and report in English or Spanish.
