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.
Tax is an inevitable part of life and is often relevant at the time of death too. Tax evasion is illegal, but it is perfectly legitimate to try and reduce tax liability by planning within the laws in force at the time. Tax needn’t hurt as much as it might.

In almost all cases, we will be able to give you a fixed fee quote before we start any work for you. Occasionally this is not possible because it is not clear exactly what will be involved. In that situation, we will give you a clear indication of the likely cost and establish a more defined scope of work as quickly as possible.
