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.
Read legal insights, our comments on the latest legal updates and articles covering all types of legal queries and scenarios, written by experts from our teams.
A clear future together.
Thinking of setting up a fund of investors for a project - maybe to invest in property or another sector? Want to raise funds for a company? Even thinking of "crowd funding" for a project? These are all potentially regulated activities under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and taking expert advice at an early stage can make a big difference.
Iain is a Partner in the Corporate Group and heads up the Sports Law team and the non-contentious Restructuring and Insolvency team.
Our Funds Team will guide you through the fund raising implications and regulatory regime and will assist you with the preparation of any "offer document" to potential investors. We also advise on structuring, acquisition and bank funding of the project or target assets. We're experienced at working with our clients' other professional advisers to achieve their goals.
We act for a range of London and Scottish clients who instruct us on UK and worldwide deals. We've advised on property fund promotions in the UK, Central Europe and the Middle East. We worked on establishing The Hothouse Club - which invests in the food and drinks sector - and Apollo Informal Investments - which is an 'angel investment' club.
We offer fixed fee packages where we can be clear on the scope of our services. If this isn't possible we'll provide a clear indication of the likely fee based on the expected scope of work. We'll also consider discounted fee arrangements where projects don't complete as expected.
