At Morton Fraser 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.

We use Morton Fraser for all of our legal work and when we need general advice. They have never let us down, are a great team of people to deal with and I would highly recommend them to any company or individual. It's a company that’s sometimes quirky, often charming, but always professional.
The Morton Fraser team did a fantastic job and showed great patience in answering questions and explaining the process and meaning of what lay behind the great weight of papers that daily landed on my desk. The approach throughout was precise, fast, calm, unfussy. Totally pragmatic, with a laser-like focus on always moving forward.
We need advisers who are technically competent, responsive to tight deadlines and cost effective but with a strong human touch to help us manage our target's expectations- Morton Fraser fit that bill perfectly.
