Standard payment terms

Payment terms are agreed with suppliers as part of contract negotiations. The most commonly used terms are 30 days. Once authorised by the relevant department head, trade invoices are paid when due through weekly payment runs. In line with standard procedures for law firms, payment to suppliers of client matter disbursement costs including counsels fees are made by the firm within 2 working days of the receipt of payment from clients for those costs, unless agreed otherwise with the supplier.
