| for the Year Ended 31st March 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| ET Law Limited is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 11254303. The address of the registered office and principal place of business is Stamford Green, 33 Stamford Street, Altrincham, United Kingdom, WA14 1ES. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents amounts due in respect of legal services provided during the year, net of value added tax. |
| Services provided to clients during the year which, at the balance sheet date, have not been invoiced to clients have been recognised as turnover in accordance with FRS 102. Turnover recognised in this manner is based on an assessment of the fair value of services provided by the balance sheet date as a proportion of the total value of the engagement. Provision is made against unbilled amounts on those engagements where the right to receive payment is contingent on factors outside the control of the partnership. |
| Unbilled fee income is included as unbilled turnover within debtors. Provision is made against unbilled amounts on those engagements where the right to receive payment is contingent on factors outside the control of the company. Income on such contingent engagements is generally recognised when the contingent event is successful. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
| Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using either a straight line or reducing balance method, as indicated below. |
| Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
| Computer equipment | 33% on cost |
| The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
| Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Debtors |
| Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents are represented by cash at bank and in hand. Bank overdrafts and bank loans are included within creditors. |
| Creditors |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |

| 10. | RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES |
| During the year, dividends were paid to four of the directors who held office during the period amounting to £229,222 (2023: £160,316). |
| Included in other creditors are amounts of £86,665 (2023: £7,250) owed to companies under common control. These amounts relate to loans that are subject to annual interest of 2% and are repayable on demand. |
| During the year, the company reduced a balance of £64,727 previously owed to a Limited Liability Partnership of which a director of the company, is a designated member. The balance originally arose in respect of work in progress (WIP) transferred from the LLP to the company. Following a reassessment of the underlying WIP and a change in the commercial terms of the transaction, the value attributed to the transfer was revised downwards, resulting in a corresponding reduction of the liability. This adjustment has been recognised in the profit and loss account. At the reporting date the balance owed to the LLP was £Nil (2023: £316,207). |
| Included in other creditors are third party loans amounting to £105,661 (2023: £77,376). These loans are secured by a personal guarantee given by one of the directors. |
