About Coeus Intelligence
Coeus Intelligence Ltd was founded by Neil Bullock, a former Metropolitan Police Detective (PIP Level 2 qualified), with a single purpose: to bring structured, evidence-led investigation to the legal and corporate sectors.
Where many practitioners apply desktop research as investigation, Coeus applies the methodological rigour of a live criminal enquiry. Every instruction receives formal scope confirmation, documented methodology, and a report built to evidential standards.
Based at Riverbank House, London, with national and international deployment capability, Coeus serves solicitors, barristers, insurers, loss adjusters, and corporate clients across the UK and overseas.
Intelligence without evidential rigour is just information. Every instruction we accept is treated as if it will ultimately be tested in court.

A LAIR (Litigation & Asset Intelligence Report) is a structured intelligence product designed for family law solicitors dealing with complex financial remedy matters. It is most valuable where there are concerns about incomplete disclosure, offshore holdings, or undisclosed corporate structures. It documents what is known, what is inferred, and what remains unknown — giving your team an informed strategic picture before or during proceedings.
