2011 Affinity Partners

The Association of British Investigators (ABI) is the longest and largest established organisation representing professional Private Investigators in the UK with its foundations laid way back in 1913. With the absence of any statutory control of the investigation industry in the UK the ABI recognised the need for self-regulation many years ago and set very high standards to meet the criteria for membership. Members are admitted only after stringent vetting. Members must conduct their business in a professional manner and by complying with a strict code of ethics with disciplinary procedures in place to monitor any transgressions. Each member is required to hold Professional Indemnity Insurance, be free of monetary judgments and regularly produce a criminal conviction certificate to verify probity and stability.The ABI is sector exclusively endorsed by The Law Society which recognises the ABI as the sole means by which lawyers are able to mitigate risk when appointing an Investigator.
