A private investigator, or PI, is a person who undertakes investigations. They often work for attorneys in civil cases or on behalf of a
defense attorney. Many work for insurance companies to resolve claims. Before the advent of no-fault divorce, many private investigators were hired to search out evidence of adultery or other illegal conduct within marriage to establish
grounds for a divorce. Despite the lack of legal necessity for such evidence any more, according to press reports collecting
evidence of adultery or other "bad behaviour" by spouses and partners is still one of the most profitable activities
investigators undertake.
