Process Serving for Solicitors and Legal Professionals

Correct service protects legal progress

When legal documents need to be served, timing and procedure matter. A process server helps ensure the recipient is notified and that the client receives proof of what happened.

For solicitors and legal teams, reliable process serving can reduce delay, support court deadlines and provide a clear record of attempts or completed service.

Documents commonly served

Process servers may be instructed to serve claim forms, divorce documents, statutory demands, injunctions, notices, orders and other legal papers. Each document type can have different requirements, so the instruction should be reviewed before service is attempted.

Where the recipient is evasive or the address is uncertain, tracing support may be needed before service can be completed.

What good proof of service includes

Proof of service should usually record the date, time, location, method of service and relevant observations. Where appropriate, supporting notes or evidence may be included to show what steps were taken.
