Formal conduct of Family Court proceedings, the final court consent-order stage and advocacy are not supplied through Phrasing Ltd.

Yes, up to the appropriate regulatory boundary. We can advise on financial disclosure and settlement options, negotiate or review proposals and prepare clear heads of terms or a memorandum recording the agreement reached. Phrasing Ltd does not prepare or file the final Family Court consent order, take responsibility for the D81/application package or conduct the court application. For that formal stage, an appropriately authorised law firm should be separately instructed. We can prepare a handover pack so the agreed terms and supporting information are clearly organised for the receiving solicitor.

Yes, on a defined advisory and preparation basis. We may review orders and evidence, help organise a chronology, provide witness-statement drafting support and prepare you for a hearing while you remain responsible for filing, service, deadlines and presenting the case. We do not go on the court record or conduct the proceedings through Phrasing Ltd.

No. Phrasing Ltd does not conduct litigation or go on the court record as your legal representative. Phrasing Legal may provide discrete advice, drafting and preparation support while you remain responsible for the proceedings, or an appropriately authorised litigation provider can be instructed separately.

Phrasing Legal does not exercise rights of audience. Where formal advocacy is required, an appropriately authorised advocate or another lawful route must be used.

No claim can be made on the SRA Compensation Fund in respect of services supplied through Phrasing Ltd. The protections associated with instructing an SRA-authorised law firm do not apply to the business.

No substantive immigration or asylum advice is provided through Phrasing Ltd. Phrasing Legal can receive factual enquiries, provide general information, identify the broad category of regulated assistance required and offer free signposting or an authorised-provider referral. The authorised provider then decides whether it can accept the matter and provides any case-specific advice under its own retainer.

We can route enquiries concerning visit visas; spouse, partner and family routes; work, study and dependants; FLR(M), FLR(FP), family/private life and human rights; settlement, ILR and citizenship; and asylum, protection, Home Office refusals, reviews and appeals. Listing a category does not mean Phrasing Ltd provides advice on that category.

No. Initial routing, general signposting and an authorised-provider referral are offered without charge by Phrasing Legal. If you instruct the authorised provider, that provider will quote separately for any regulated immigration advice or service.

Phrasing Ltd does not conduct tribunal litigation and does not undertake regulated claims-management activity without the necessary lawful permission or exemption. Employment support is focused on contracts and internal workplace processes. Housing support excludes regulated housing-disrepair claims-management activity.

Guide fees are published on the Fees page. Before substantive work begins, we confirm the task, exclusions and fee or charging basis in writing. Your written quote will confirm whether VAT applies and the total price payable before substantive work begins. No tax or other charge will be added unless it is clearly identified in the quote.

Yes. Where a matter requires reserved or separately regulated work, Phrasing Legal can explain the boundary and, with your consent, offer a referral to an appropriately authorised provider. Possible routes include separate SRA-authorised firms through which Muhammad Arshed is currently listed by the SRA as working. You are free to choose the suggested firm where suitable or another provider, and every receiving firm independently decides whether it can accept your matter.

No. Phrasing Ltd and the receiving authorised firm are separate businesses. A referral does not make Phrasing Ltd SRA authorised, does not guarantee acceptance and does not transfer responsibility for a deadline until the receiving firm expressly confirms that it has accepted instructions. The authorised firm issues its own retainer, fees and regulatory information.

We will identify the issue and explain the appropriate next route. You may need to instruct an authorised solicitor’s firm, barrister, immigration adviser, FCA-authorised provider or another specialist depending on the work required.

Use our Complaints Procedure. Complaints can be sent to complaints@phrasinglegal.co.uk. Depending on who provided or supervised the legal service and the client’s eligibility, the Legal Ombudsman may also be available after the internal procedure.

No. Automated Client Assistance provides general automated support using approved website information. It can help you find services, published fees, referral routes and human contact options, but it does not provide personalised legal advice, assess merits, accept instructions or take responsibility for deadlines.
