Litigant-in-Person Preparation Support

Practical advice, drafting and organisation for people managing their own civil, family or tribunal matter, without Phrasing Legal taking over the conduct of proceedings.

Defined task.We agree exactly what we will do before work begins.
Clear fee.Fixed or estimated pricing is confirmed in advance where possible.
Clear boundary.If the work becomes reserved or separately regulated, we identify the appropriate route.

How we may assist

  • Review of orders, directions and key procedural documents
  • Chronologies, document indexes and hearing preparation notes
  • Drafting assistance for documents that you remain responsible for checking, signing, filing and serving
  • 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

  1. Send the essentials: a concise summary, the key document and any deadline.
  2. Suitability check: we assess whether the requested task falls within our lawful and professional scope.
  3. Scope and price: we confirm what is included, important exclusions, who will undertake or supervise the work and the fee or charging basis.
  4. Advice or drafting: we complete the agreed work and explain the practical next step.
  5. 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. Consumer prices are shown inclusive of VAT where VAT applies.

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

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.
