What does に先立って mean here?

に先立って means before, prior to, or in advance of.

It is a fairly formal expression, often used in:

• official procedures
• business writing
• instructions
• legal or administrative language

So 提出するに先立って is not just a casual before submitting. It has a more formal nuance like prior to submitting or before proceeding with submission.

Why is 提出する in the dictionary form before に先立って?

Because this pattern uses the plain/dictionary form of the verb:

• Vる + に先立って
• N + に先立って

So:

• 提出するに先立って
• 会議に先立って

In Japanese, the dictionary form in a subordinate clause like this does not automatically mean present tense in the English sense. It can refer to an action that is going to happen later than the main action.

Here, the order is:

1. 委任状を確認する
2. 代理人が申請書を提出する

So the application has not been submitted yet at the time of the checking.
