In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
"Lyons Davidson's standard practice is to pay trade purchase ledger suppliers within 30 days of receipt of a valid and accurate VAT invoice (unless a different payment period is specifically agreed with a particular supplier) provided we are satisfied that the goods or services have been delivered or performed in accordance with the agreement with that supplier. In addition to trade suppliers, Lyons Davidson also incurs professional disbursements (including counsel fees) in relation to legal cases undertaken on behalf of clients, and the majority of these invoices are subject to extended credit terms. Lyons Davidson’s policy is to pay these invoices within five business days of receipt of funds, in accordance with the firm's policy in relation to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SR
Dispute resolution
"Material disputes relating to payments with our suppliers are very rare as we will have agreed cost and payment terms prior to the goods being delivered or services being performed. Any disputes or other queries are raised and discussed with the supplier (by the relevant contact in the Lyons Davidson operational or finance team) with the intention of resolving the dispute or query promptly and to the satisfaction of both parties."

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
