DG Legal: Process Serving For Lawyers


11th September 2025 at 1:00 pm - Online

In this free 1 hour webinar, Greg Gillespie MSc of Legal Connect will discuss how process serving works and why it’s necessary so participants can ensure effective service has been achieved, regardless of what papers need to be served.

The webinar will cover:

  • What is process serving?
  • Who are process servers?
  • Why is it necessary?
  • What papers can be served?
  • How are papers served? (What does the process server actually do?)
  • What constitutes as “effective service?”
  • What happens if the subject refuses the papers?
  • How do you instruct a process server? (We will demonstrate this and provide a step by step guide for use after the course).
  • Your responsibilities vs the servers responsibilities.
  • Process serving through Legal Aid
  • What to do if you don’t have the subjects address.
  • Where papers can’t be served.

There will also be time for a Q&A at the end of the webinar.
