Private Client

An approach that sets us apart

When you come to us with a question, we start by listening carefully to understand your situation. Then we look at the whole picture from all possible angles to give you a range of solutions that are well thought through. Finally, we advise you on the best solution. You can explore some of the areas we consider for you on our Designed For Life site which identifies legal considerations at each of life's stages.

If your personal or family circumstances are complicated by property, tax, family, employment or business issues, we also aim to help you save time, avoid further difficulties, protect assets and where possible, save or make you money.

This comprehensive approach sets Morton Fraser apart from other law firms. And with us, you have consistent contact with one person - your personal lawyer who matches your needs and works closely with other specialists to provide you with a comprehensive solution.

We have one of the largest private client teams among the top ten firms in Scotland, working with clients across the UK. As part of a full-service firm, you also have direct access to highly rated experts on corporate and commercial, financial, real estate and litigation matters.

You do not have to take our word for it. Existing clients, lawyers and other professionals refer most of our new clients to us, many of whom then stay with us through the different stages of their lives.
