Standard payment terms
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe (Europe) LLP 's standard supplier payment terms for non-client contracts are that payment is made within 30 days of the supplier issuing the invoice, unless a separate agreement is made with a supplier. A significant exception to this is payment terms on professional disbursements. Professional disbursements are qualifying contracts for specialist professional advice relating to a specific client. Standard industry practice for payment for professional disbursements is once the end client has paid for the advice.
