Payment Terms
Standard payment terms
Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP pays trade suppliers within 30 days of receipt of an accurate and valid VAT invoice, unless agreed otherwise and where we are satisfied that the work has been performed in accordance with the agreement with the supplier. The firm's standard terms relating to payment for the suppliers of professional disbursement and counsel services are 2 business days from receipt of payment of those costs from our clients as required by the Solicitors Accounts Rules, unless agreed otherwise by the supplier. In calculating the above statistics we have: - used the date of the invoices as the date of receipt of the invoice. - Considered that the two above points provide fair balance as we would very rarely receive an invoice on the invoice date itself. - the firm pays the vast majority of its suppliers via electronic means therefore limiting and controlling clearing times
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
