In their own words · from the filing
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 time frames (10 working days) of Norton

What a 25-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 25-day vs a 0-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
