Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe (UK) 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. Excluding professional disbursements the average time to pay in days is 19 days and the % of invoices paid between 0 to 30 days is 83%, 31-60 days is 13% and greater than 60 days is 4%. Excluding professional disbursements, the % of invoices due within the reporting period which were not paid within the agreed terms was 20%.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
