In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms for services provided to the firm are 30 days from the date of the invoice. However, in addition we have contracts with large medical suppliers in specific legal cases where the agreed terms are for us to pay the supplier when we receive payment ourselves or within 2 years, whichever is earlier. We also have agreements with some barristers, experts and insurance companies where we pay them when we have received payment ourselves, as very often we are unable to issue invoices to recover these disbursements until the relevant legal case has reached settlement. These agreements for shared deferred payment terms, which reflect the nature of our Personal Injury legal business, increase our average payment days. If these two categories are included, our average days to
Dispute resolution
We are open to discussion with suppliers in respect of any alleged dispute.

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).
