Known for its high standards, Urquhart Investigation & Research Inc. is the general investigation branch of Urquhart Forensics.  It is an independent, Ontario licensed, private investigation agency providing investigative and surveillance services to:

• Insurers;
• Government;
• The Corporate World; and
• The Legal Profession

We are professional investigators with local knowledge, relevant experience and training and superior technology and support. 

Our primary areas of operation are where we have a presence, the Niagara Peninsula, Hamilton and surrounding regions – the Regional Municipalities of Niagara, Hamilton, Haldimand, Norfolk, Brant and Halton.  In 2008 we added abilities to routinely conduct operations in the Regional Municipalities of Waterloo and Wellington, and west to include London and the surrounding areas. 

 An agency without growth targets, we believe that like people, every case is unique.  Our primary objective is to produce reliable evidence through investigations directed at the needs of each case.  Like any agency, our only source of funding is our clients’ investigation budget.  We believe they would prefer to see that money spent on investigation.  Our promotional budget is miniscule.  We are recommended because of our record and abilities.

Those whose work we seek have many choices.  We distinguish ourselves by being the the best equipped of any in the industry but more importantly, our backgrounds, training and experience are in areas relevant to the needs of our clients.  That experience includes with the Work Place Safety and Insurance Board, law firms, insurers, accounting firms,  policing and of course, private investigation.

Our people are full time, career minded professionals.  They are engaged in continued, agency funded professional development, to assure their work will be effective in the protection and advancement of our clients’ interests.  They are leaders in industry groups, promoting professionalism among their peers and offering guidance to those who regulate the industry. 

A private investigator is in a position of trust.  Thousands of assignments are evidence of our clients’ trust in us.
