At Morton Fraser Lawyers we have highlighted clarity as our guiding principle.
This directs the way we communicate, the way we advise, the way we conduct relationships with our clients and the way we are totally transparent and upfront about our charges. This applies to all our services from the straightforward to the more complex.

A clear future together.
We provide support to a number of charities in a variety of ways.
We donate money and get actively involved in fundraising through various events and activities. We also offer legal advice to some charities. Each year our employees select a principal charity for the year. In 2019, we're delighted to be working with social bite.
Social bite is on a mission to build a collaborative movement to end homelessness in Scotland. Born in 2013, social bite now has two cafes in Edinburgh, two in Glasgow, one in Aberdeen and a restaurant which shuts every Monday to provide a full dining experience for homeless guests. Today social bite supports Scotland's homeless community by giving out 140,000 items of food and drink per year as well as engaging thousands of customers through Sleep in the Park and a pay it forward programme. Social Bite believes that Scotland is a small enough country and a compassionate enough country where no-one should have to be homeless.
Morton Fraser hopes to raise £10,000 this year through a variety of fundraising activities, auctions and events. So far some of the activities you'll see from us are:
Burns Supper: we hosted a Burns Supper evening here at our offices and sold raffle tickets to a dinner at social bite's Vesta restaurant and bar
Dress down days: we ask that our staff who dress down one Friday a month to donate money to social bite, those that don't dress down are asked to make a higher contribution!
Sweepstake: staff can participate in a sweepstake for both Wimbledon and the Grand National
Bake sales: our keen cohort of bakers will once again get the rolling pins out to create delicious goods for the rest of us to consume
We have previously supported charities across a range of services that support mental health, children's health, older people, cancer research and hospice providers, and homelessness. The charities we've previously raised money for include: SAMH, Age Scotland, Sick Kids Friends Foundation Edinburgh, Ronald McDonald House Glasgow, Macmillan Cancer Support, Alzheimer's Research Scotland, The Bethany Trust, St Columba's Hospice in Edinburgh and the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow.
