How we may assist
- 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
These guide prices apply to clearly defined work of ordinary complexity. Before substantive work begins, we confirm the task, the person providing or supervising it and the price 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.
| Family case / order review | £250–£450 |
| Chronology or issues schedule | £200–£400 |
| Witness statement drafting support | from £350 |
| Family hearing preparation pack | £450–£750 |
Urgency, unusually large document volumes, additional conferences or work outside the agreed scope may require a revised quote. We will normally agree that with you before carrying out the additional work.
Scope and regulatory limits
You remain responsible for the proceedings. Phrasing Legal does not go on the court record, file or serve documents as your representative, correspond with the court as solicitor acting, accept responsibility for procedural compliance or exercise rights of audience. Court orders and deadlines must be followed, and an authorised litigation or advocacy provider should be instructed if formal representation is required.
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.
