142days on average to pay

  • Within 30 days
  • 31 to 60 days
  • Over 60 days

In the reporting period from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2025, Baker & Mckenzie LLP reported that it took an average of 142 days to pay its suppliers' invoices. It paid 59% of invoices within 30 days, 10% in 31 to 60 days and 31% after more than 60 days. It said 41% of invoices were not paid within the agreed terms.

That average is faster than 0% of the 6,220 companies whose latest report covers a period ending since May 2025. A year earlier, in the period to 31 December 2024, the average was 18 days, so it is 124 days slower now. It reported construction contracts in this period, and said they include retention clauses.

These figures look inconsistent with this company's earlier filings (average 142 days, more than double the 28 days in its previous credible report (period to 2025-06-30); average 142 days but 59% of invoices paid within 30 days), so they may contain a filing error. They are shown as filed and kept in our tables with a note, but we do not name the company in our stories or lists of slowest payers.
