How we may assist
- Review of orders, directions and key procedural documents
- Chronologies, document indexes and hearing preparation notes

- Organisation of evidence and correspondence
- Preparation of questions, issues lists or hearing notes where appropriate
- Explanation of when an authorised litigation or advocacy provider may be needed
When this service may be useful
- You are representing yourself and need help understanding what a court order requires.
- You need your evidence and documents organised before a hearing.
- You want drafting support but intend to remain responsible for the case.
- You need to decide whether the matter has reached a point where formal representation is appropriate.
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.
- Procedural action list
- Draft or reviewed documents for your own use
- Chronology or bundle index preparation
- Hearing preparation notes
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.
Guide fees for this service

Scope and regulatory limits
Phrasing Legal does not accept responsibility for conducting litigation, filing or serving documents as your legal representative, managing court deadlines, going on the court record or exercising rights of audience through Phrasing Ltd. Any assistance is provided on the basis that you remain the litigant in person unless an authorised provider is separately instructed.
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.
