Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
Exemption has been taken from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that the company
qualifies as a small company.

Turnover is recognised as legal services are undertaken and the right to consideration is earned. Fair

Turnover in respect of contingent fee assignments (over and above any agreed minimum fee which is
recognised above) is recognised in the period when the contingent event occurs and the collectability
of the fee is assured. Unbilled turnover on individual client assignments is included as work in
progress.

Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2014, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.
