How we may assist
- Founder, collaboration and straightforward partnership arrangements where appropriate
- Role, responsibility and decision-making documents for small organisations
- Basic shareholder or governance document review where the task is suitable for an unreserved service
- Board, member or internal decision-record templates and governance policies
- Confidentiality, consultancy and contractor documentation
- Practical review of an existing governance framework and identification of specialist issues
When this service may be useful
- Two or more people are starting a venture and want responsibilities and expectations recorded clearly.
- A small company or organisation needs practical governance documents rather than a complex corporate transaction.
- Existing founder or business documents no longer reflect how decisions are actually made.
- You want an early legal review before instructing corporate, tax or financial specialists for a larger transaction.
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.
- Draft or reviewed governance document
- Founder or collaboration terms
- Decision-making or policy template
- Issues list identifying any specialist corporate, tax or regulatory advice required
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.

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 provide tax, investment, securities or regulated financial advice. Complex share transactions, fundraising, mergers and acquisitions, regulated financial activity, tax structuring and specialist company-secretarial or filing obligations may require a corporate, accounting or other appropriately authorised specialist.
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.
