When this service may be useful
- You have been invited to a disciplinary, capability or consultation meeting and need help preparing.
- You want to raise or respond to a grievance in a structured way.
- You have received a proposed settlement document and want the terms explained before deciding what to do.
- A small employer needs straightforward employment documents or correspondence reviewed.
What you can expect
We focus on the specific legal task you want completed. We review the available information, identify any important date, clarify the outcome you are seeking and then confirm the proposed work before substantive time is incurred.
- Issue-focused written advice
- Draft grievance, response or appeal correspondence
- Document review with practical comments
- Meeting preparation notes or chronology
How it works
- Send the essentials: a concise summary, the key document and any deadline.
- Suitability check: we assess whether the requested task falls within our lawful and professional scope.
- Scope and price: we confirm what is included, important exclusions, who will undertake or supervise the work and the fee or charging basis.
- Advice or drafting: we complete the agreed work and explain the practical next step.
- Referral where required: if reserved, separately regulated or specialist work is needed, we explain that clearly rather than extending the service beyond its proper scope.

Scope and regulatory limits
Phrasing Legal does not conduct Employment Tribunal litigation through Phrasing Ltd and does not undertake regulated claims-management activity. Advice, investigation or representation in relation to an employment-related claim may require FCA or legal-regulator authorisation depending on the activity. Where a statutory settlement agreement requires advice from a relevant independent adviser, we will confirm separately whether that advice can lawfully and appropriately be provided under the proposed arrangement or refer you to an authorised provider.
Whether an activity is reserved or separately regulated depends on the substance of the work, not merely the name used for the service. We therefore assess the requested task before accepting instructions.
