Who We Are

Resolve Legal Solutions is a Private Investigations and Legal Services Company delivering a range of services to our clients. We work with a diverse client base such as private individuals, the legal sector and corporate business.

Our knowledge and expertise comes from our operators previously working in different capacities in the police and armed forces in roles such as intelligence, cyber and surveillance.  While we are detail focused, thorough and results driven, we are also ethical and compassionate. We always ensure that the work we do is compliant and every investigation has a Legitimate Interest Assessment performed. We are also registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office and all investigations are GDPR and Data Protection compliant.

Resolve Legal Solutions provides a wide range of services to a broad client base. We provide services to:

  • Legal Sector: We provide support to a number of Legal firms with services such as, process serving, surveillance, people tracing, asset tracing, witness tracing, legal defence preparation, interviewing and statement drafting.

How We Do it

We are able to apply our extensive knowledge and expertise in the investigations sector to the cases we are instructed on.

Every case starts with a scoping meeting with the client to gain a full understanding of the brief and agree the best course of action. At this stage we perform a Legitimate Interest Assessment to ensure that we have a lawful basis to process personal data and that our actions moving forward are justified and proportionate.

Our investigative techniques are a blend good old fashioned police work and modern technologies. We utilise the latest developments in tech and apply them to the basics of all investigation work, a methodical, detailed and through approach.

Why We Do It

We work with our clients to find them the answers they need in order to make fully informed decisions in both business and private matters.

For some individuals this can mean closure on issues such as a missing family member or marital problems.

For businesses, screening potential employees and having a discreet resolution to any internal investigations is crucial in today’s environment. Reputational damage to a company can be catastrophic and take many years to recover from. Resolve Legal Solutions are discreet in all their work and can offer advice around reputational protection by assessing any weaknesses or vulnerabilities the company may have.

Resolve Legal Solutions Founder & MD

Resolve Legal Solutons was founded by Karl Starkey who saw a need for proactive, responsive and ethical investigations services. Karl enjoyed a long and decorated career in the UK Armed Forces serving in the Royal Navy Police. Initially assigned to uniform general policing patrol duties, he would later qualify as a detective and join the Special Investigations Branch where he investigated serious and complex crimes. During his time in the SIB, he trained and qualified as a Crime Scene Investigator, and shortly after he was posted to the Royal Military Police Specialist Operations Regiment where he was assigned to the Scientific Support Unit. A dedicated forensics unit, they were tasked with supporting investigators in the UK and globally with forensic advice, support on the ground, and forensic submissions.

On leaving the Armed Forces in 2018, Karl worked in several sectors and roles including Charity and Further Education, before he made the decision to set up his own business in May 2022. Karl is proud to be the founder of Resolve Legal Solutions and aims to set himself apart from his competitors in the market through the adoption and application of strong values, ethics and standards that where embedded within his fabric during his time in the military. Karl will go above and beyond the call of duty to provide his clients with the best experience and possible outcome.

In his free-time, Karl enjoys watching football and is a supporter of both Liverpool Football Club, and more importantly, Marine Football Club of which he is a season ticket holder, a club member, and who Resolve Legal Solutions are the Men’s Team shirt sleeve official sponsor.
