Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Standard terms are 30 days unless any differing payment terms are agreed in writing between the vendor and Norton Rose Fulbright LLP. Standard payment terms dictate that all goods and services will only be paid after any issues or queries have been resolved to the vendor and Norton Rose Fulbright LLP’s mutual agreement. All approved and due invoices are paid on a weekly cycle by BACS or other form of bank transfer. Payment of 3rd party Counsel and other professional fees that are incurred as part of the services provided by Norton Rose Fulbright LLP’s to clients fall outside of the standard payment terms, and are settled on a "pay when paid" basis in accordance with the UK SRA Accounts Rules. These “paid when paid” invoices are paid within reasonable timeframes (5 working days) of Norton Rose Fulbright LLP’s invoices to the client being paid..
