Introduction

IP Forensics Ltd is committed to conducting its business with the highest integrity and in full compliance with all applicable laws. We investigate suspected illegal activities and work in close cooperation with law firms and law enforcement agencies, and we hold ourselves to the same ethical standards we apply to our work.

Section 1: Professional Investigation Conduct

All investigators employed or engaged by IP Forensics Ltd must work in an unbiased, diligent, and professional manner. Material facts must be gathered accurately, without bias or preconceived opinion.

Any potential conflicts of interest must be identified and disclosed to the client before any investigation commences. Where a conflict exists that cannot be managed appropriately, the engagement will not proceed.

Section 2: Honesty and Integrity

Investigators must not assume real identities or misrepresent themselves in order to obtain records or information. The use of a fictitious identity is only permissible with prior written authority from the appropriate principal, and only in circumstances where investigating confirmed or strongly suspected illegal activity.

Investigators must:

• Disclose their true identity when formally interviewing any investigation target
• Avoid making unsolicited contact with parties known to be legally represented
• Refrain from inducing any person to breach a legal obligation

Section 3: Information and Evidence Handling

Investigators must use only public records and commercial databases that are fully compliant with applicable privacy laws. Investigators must not trespass on private property and must at all times safeguard confidential information obtained in the course of their work.

All evidence must be handled in a manner that preserves its integrity and admissibility, with a clear and documented chain of custody maintained throughout.

Section 4: Legal Compliance

Investigators are expected to be familiar with the laws applicable to their activities in each jurisdiction in which they operate. Investigations that cross international borders must be conducted with particular care to ensure compliance with the laws of each relevant country.

Where there is any uncertainty regarding legal requirements, investigators must seek guidance before proceeding.
