| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| V & S Solicitors LLP is registered in England and Wales. The LLP's registered number is OC344486 and its registered office is Central House, 1 Ballards Lane, Finchley, London, N3 1LQ. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. |
| The presentation currency of the of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the amounts reports for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. |
| There are no judgements or estimates that can be considered significant. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is recognised as revenue is earned, under a wide variety of contracts to provide professional services, when and to the extent the LLP obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance under the contracts. It is measured at the fair value of the right to consideration, including expenses and disbursements, but excluding VAT. |
| Turnover that has been earned but not been billed to clients is included within debtors, and amounts billed in excess of revenue recognised are included in creditors. |
| Costs in respect of contingency fee assignments are written off to the profit and loss account as incurred until the contingent event occurs and collectability is assured. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. |
| The cost of fixed assets initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management. |
| Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: |
| Plant and machinery | - 33% on cost |
| The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively. |
| Fixed assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement. |
| Financial instruments |
| The LLP only has financial assets and liabilities of the kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
| Finance Costs |
| Finance costs are charged to the Income Statement over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument. |

| 8. | LOANS AND OTHER DEBTS DUE TO MEMBERS |
| During the year the Management Board sets the level of interim profit allocations and members' monthly drawings after considering the working capital and funding needs of the partnership. To the extent that interim profit allocations exceed drawings then the excess profit is included in the balance sheet under trade and other payables. Where drawings exceed the allocated profits then the excess is included in trade and other receivables. Unallocated profits are included in Reserves within Members' equity. |
| Loans and other debts due to members rank equally with debts due to unsecured creditors in the event of a winding up. There are no restrictions or limitations on the ability of the members to reduce the amount of Members' other interests'. |
