What our clients and peers say:

We’ve been working with Andrew Walker for over 10 years and he’s an exemplary lawyer. Couldn’t be more helpful and proactive. He understands our business and more importantly understands how we want to present ourselves to clients and partners. He always picks the right person to do the job for us and his oversight is invaluable. He’s part of our team.

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.

Private client

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.

Private client

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.

Private Client

A corporate transaction can be unsettling and time consuming, regardless of how desirable the final objective. Morton Fraser always provides a pragmatic, straightforward and supportive approach to projects that allows us to focus on what we are good at while remaining confident that our company's best interests are being watched over.
