The Scottish-based commercial real estate law firm saw revenue increase 9% year-on-year as it topped the £20m threshold for annual billings for the first time in its history.
Chris Harte, chief executive at Morton Fraser, said the quality of its team was one consistent factor underpinning this period of growth for the business.

“We have some exceptional talent and some of the best specialist teams in the country.
“The roster of truly independent Scottish firms is dwindling, and our focus on talent is setting us apart.”
The firm also stated that this year’s positive performance included a “fantastic” year for its commercial real estate division
The team advised Rockspring on the purchase of 9-10 St Andrew Square in Edinburgh and BAM Properties on its role in Edinburgh’s largest speculative office development at Capital Square.
It also helped Platform_ to launch in Scotland with the acquisition of Central Quay, a private rented housing development in Glasgow.
“It would be wrong to assume that a proudly independent firm in Scotland can only do business in Scotland,” added Chris.
“Our connections and reputation extend not only into the City of London, but also internationally.
“We help overseas clients to assess their options here and also support domestic clients in other jurisdictions, too.”
