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.
Our clients range from established corporate clients to sole traders and include PLCs and household-name businesses as well as public sector and third sector clients across the UK. Many of our lawyers are dual-qualified (Scotland/England and Wales).

If we think there's a better way of achieving your business goals, we'll tell you quickly and clearly why and how. Our lawyers are straight talking, pragmatic, accessible and commercially minded.
We can help buy a business or company - as a new venture, to expand your existing business or because you've seen a good opportunity; or we can also help sell your business or company - whether to retire, to release capital or because an attractive sale price is being offered.
We'll guide and support you in the process, including ensuring confidentiality, due diligence and the negotiation of the contract terms and conditions, all with a commercial focus on achieving a successful outcome.
We advise on dozens of corporate transactions every year so we know the likely pitfalls and how to pre-empt problems. Whatever comes up, the chances are that one of our experienced lawyers has seen it before so we provide peace of mind and protection against all contingencies. The award-winning team is rated by both Legal 500 and Chambers as one of the best in Scotland.
We're happy to have an initial, free, no-obligation meeting to discuss how we can help. We can quote fixed fees for certain types of work. If it's not possible to provide a fixed fee then we'll give you a clear indication of the likely fee based on an agreed scope of work.
