Legal papers often have to be served in the right way and within a set deadline. Eclipse Legal Services provides process serving across London for solicitors, businesses, councils, insurers and private clients.
When you instruct a Process Server in London, the team handles the service attempt, keeps you updated and prepares proof of service afterwards. Standard, urgent and same-day attendance options are available.
Eclipse offers different service levels to match the urgency of the case.
Standard process serving includes up to three visits to the subject address for one fixed fee. This includes one out-of-hours visit, mileage and a certificate or statement of service where needed.
For urgent cases, Eclipse offers attendance within 24 hours. Same-day attendance is also available when action is needed straight away.
These timeframes cover attendance. They do not mean the person will always be present or that service can be completed on the first visit.
A Process Server in London can also work with the wider Eclipse network if the case moves outside the capital.
The way papers must be served can vary by case. Eclipse first checks what needs to be served, who must receive it and whether a court deadline applies.
The team can serve:
If you are not sure whether personal service is needed, the team can discuss the papers and your instructions before work starts.
Serving the papers is only one part of the job. You may also need a clear record of what happened.
Eclipse provides a certificate or statement of service with its standard fixed-fee service. Affidavits and notarised documents can also be arranged where the case needs extra proof.
Clients receive updates while the instruction is active. This helps legal teams and other clients track progress without having to chase each attendance.
Knowing the likely cost at the start can make a legal matter easier to manage. Eclipse offers standard process serving for a fixed fee with no hidden mileage charge.
The standard service includes up to three visits and the relevant certificate or statement of service.
More complex work may need a tailored plan. This can include several attendances on the same day, service at more than one location or work planned around a court deadline.
Eclipse can confirm the scope and fee before you instruct a Process Server in London.
Eclipse works with law firms, local authorities, debt recovery teams, insurers, businesses and private individuals. Its UK-wide agent network also helps with repeat and high-volume work.
The company also has experience with Legal Aid Agency work. For relevant cases, it can provide records linked to visits, mileage and service.
Sometimes the address supplied is no longer current. In that situation, Eclipse can also provide tracing services to help find a new address before further service is planned.
Eclipse Legal Services is based in Manchester and serves London through its nationwide network of agents. Your instruction is managed by one team while attendance can take place in London and elsewhere in the UK.
This is useful when a person has moved or when several people need to be served in different areas. Eclipse also works with overseas partners when a case needs wider reach.

What does a process server do?
A process server delivers legal papers to an individual or organisation in line with the requirements that apply to the case. They can also provide evidence confirming when and how service took place.
How quickly can you attempt service in London?
Eclipse offers standard, urgent and same-day options. Its urgent service provides attendance within 24 hours, while same-day attendance is available for cases requiring faster action. Attendance does not guarantee that the recipient will be available on the first visit.
What happens if the person is no longer at the address?
Eclipse can discuss the next step based on the information found during the service attempts. If the address appears to be out of date, its separate tracing service may help locate a current address.
Do you provide proof that the documents were served?
Yes. Eclipse includes a certificate or statement of service with its standard service where appropriate. Affidavits and notarised documents can also be arranged when additional verification is required.
Do you only serve documents in London?
No. Eclipse provides nationwide process serving through its UK agent network. This can help when an instruction involves several locations or a recipient has moved outside London.
How much does a process server in London cost?
Eclipse offers fixed-fee standard process serving, which includes up to three visits, mileage and the relevant certificate or statement of service. Urgent, same-day and more complex instructions may be priced differently, so contact the team for a quote.
