Payment Terms

No information available

Any other information about payment terms

The figures provided are based on our Business suppliers and exclude Professional Disbursement suppliers (Counsels/Experts) that are generally on variable agreed terms (ie payment upon receipt of funds from our Clients to pay our bills) under SRA regulation.  Importantly, our payment process ensures next day payment of Counsel/Expert invoices upon receipt of the related funds from our Clients. The supplied figures do not distinguish between our Hill Dickinson LLP and Hill Dickinson Business Services Company No.7525975 (this company has one customer Hill Dickinson LLP) as they are all recorded and paid centrally. Hence we have provided the same information for both our Hill Dickinson LLP and Business Services Company published reports.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed
