Client & Matter
The case-specific need, context and intended outcome.
Coordination
SQN
Scope, approval, instruction and wider case or relationship coordination.
Delivery
Professional / Specialist
Independent professional work under the applicable obligations and engagement.
Registering interest does not place a professional on the SQN panel and does not create an instruction. SQN reviews suitability, capability and any required onboarding information before approving a professional/provider for use.
Approved professionals are instructed on a case-specific basis through the applicable scope, quote, approval and instruction process.
Instruction process
A controlled route from requirement to payment.
Every appointment moves through a defined scope, approval and instruction process.

No work should be treated as authorised solely because a professional has discussed a matter with SQN. A live instruction must follow the applicable SQN approval and instruction route.
Appointment information
Structured around clarity and professional independence.
SQN coordinates the wider case or relationship. Regulated legal or professional work remains the responsibility of the relevant professional under their own regulatory and professional obligations.
Benefits for Professionals

Suitability and onboarding come first; scope, quote, approval and instruction follow for each matter.
