Soteria Covert Solutions Ltd is a specialist intelligence and evidence-gathering consultancy providing legally compliant covert services to solicitors, barristers, law firms, corporates, and UHNW family offices. Established for over five years, the company has built a strong reputation for delivering defensible, court-ready evidence in matters where conventional or less intrusive investigative methods are ineffective or unavailable.
Our work is grounded in strict adherence to the UK’s legal and regulatory framework. All deployments are designed and executed with full consideration of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), the Data Protection Act and UK GDPR, ICO guidance, and the disclosure obligations applicable in both civil and criminal proceedings. We understand that evidence is only as valuable as its admissibility, and our processes are structured to ensure proportionality, necessity, and accountability at every stage.
A distinguishing feature of Soteria is the calibre of our personnel. We exclusively deploy elite, Government-trained covert specialists with many years of operational experience in sensitive and high-risk environments. This expertise enables us to operate discreetly, lawfully, and effectively, while maintaining detailed contemporaneous records that withstand forensic and legal scrutiny. Our operatives are accustomed to working within evidential chains, disclosure regimes, and professional privilege considerations relevant to litigation and regulatory proceedings.
We are typically instructed in complex disputes, fraud investigations, asset tracing, reputational risk matters, and cases involving suspected wrongdoing where open enquiries or standard investigative approaches would be inappropriate or likely to compromise the outcome. In each engagement, we work closely with instructing lawyers to define the legal objectives, assess proportionality, and ensure that the intelligence or evidence sought cannot reasonably be obtained by less intrusive means.
Our outputs are clear, structured, and disclosure-ready. Reports are prepared with an understanding of how they will be deployed—whether in pre-action strategy, interlocutory applications, settlement negotiations, or trial. Where required, our work can be supported through witness statements and expert liaison to assist legal teams in presenting the evidence effectively.
Soteria exists to support legal professionals who require reliable, compliant, and operationally sound intelligence. Our focus is not merely on obtaining information, but on delivering evidence that can be relied upon with confidence in the most exacting legal contexts.
