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.
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.
Housing is a sector which covers many distinct areas of the law, from housing management and housing finance to landlord and tenant matters and recoveries. In a highly regulated sector finding the right legal advisers to work with you is essential, whatever issues or problems you face.
Andrew is a partner in our Banking and Asset Finance group.
Our housing lawyers provide clear, pragmatic advice on everything from complex procurement projects to questions on antisocial behaviour. We are proud that our clients find our team approachable and that they feel able to come to us with questions, confident that we will not charge for informal guidance.
Our social housing team has many years of experience focusing on the differing needs of local authorities, social landlords and lenders to social landlords. Our experience gives us the broadest view of any problem and we bring that experience to bear constructively and proactively. We aim to help our clients, never to create problems where there are none.
We stand by our fee quotes. Once we have provided a fee quote for a specific piece of work we will stick to that quote. Clearly there are some cases in which our scope may change during a piece of work but we will discuss that with you. We will never seek to increase our price if your instructions are unchanged.
