Morton Fraser Experience Rss_logo

Welcome to the Morton Fraser Experience. I’m Linda Urquhart, the Chairman of Morton Fraser, and I would like to introduce to you some of our outstanding people at Morton Fraser.

Our regular Morton Fraser Experience bloggers are our trainee solicitors.  Trainees come to us having completed a law degree and a Diploma in Legal Practice.  They spend two years with us, learning on the job and, usually, work their way round four different areas of the firm so that they get a wide range of experience and training.  This variety also helps them decide on the area of law they would like to pursue when they qualify.  They are key members of the team and I hope you enjoy their perspectives on the firm.

We also have guest blogs from other members of the firm including our committed fundraisers, our very own Olympic-hopeful blogging boxer and will have occasional guest blogs from people outwith the firm.

I’m delighted to encourage our enthusiastic members of staff, and if you would like to discuss anything mentioned in this blog in more detail or your organisation's particular situation please contact me at Linda.urquhart@morton-fraser.com.

I hope you enjoy what promises to be an illuminating read.

Linda Urquhart
