How we may assist
- Review of licence refusals, suspensions, revocations and warning correspondence
- Draft representations, review requests and internal appeal correspondence
- Organisation of character, employment, training and supporting evidence
- Preparation for licensing meetings or interviews where you remain responsible for attending
- Chronologies and response documents for local-authority or licensing-body concerns
- Signposting where a magistrates court, tribunal, immigration or other separately regulated issue arises
When this service may be useful
- The SIA or a licensing authority has raised concerns about suitability or requested further information.
- A taxi or private-hire licensing decision is being reviewed and you need a structured response.
- You have supporting evidence but need it organised around the reasons given by the decision-maker.
- A formal appeal may be required and you need initial preparation before instructing an authorised advocate or litigation provider.
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.
- Decision and evidence review
- Draft representations or review request
- Supporting evidence schedule
- Meeting or appeal-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.

Please complete the VAT setting in Appearance → Customise for a definitive public statement.

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 provides discrete advice, drafting and preparation support and does not conduct court litigation or exercise rights of audience. Immigration advice is separately regulated and is not included merely because immigration status may be relevant to a licensing matter. Formal statutory appeals may require an authorised litigation or advocacy 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.
