Benefits we bring to you

At Morton Fraser LLP we believe in the value of long-term client relationships. We want our clients to grow and succeed and we want to be a key member of their team on their journey - from start-up phase, expansion (organically and/or by acquisition and/or through equity/debt funding) through to successful exit.

Our expert team of commercial lawyers, based in Edinburgh and Glasgow, has extensive experience of advising entrepreneurs on business start-ups. We understand start-up business strategy: whether you’re a tech start-up, using an incubator or running your business from the spare room or your kitchen table, we can help.

We bring the benefit of significant experience and an understanding of both the commercial and the legal issues that new and growing businesses face. We have a highly-rated commercial law team with an excellent reputation in the marketplace and proven experience in this field according to both Chambers and Legal 500.
