Morton Fraser, Interlaw’s partner firm in Scotland, has invested over £1million in a new central Glasgow hub designed for hybrid, collaborative working.

The new hub offers collaborative co-working spaces, standing desks and informal booths. Morton Fraser's people have no set boundaries for working in the office and are encouraged to balance their wellbeing with their work responsibilities in a way that allows them to be their best.

Chris Harte, Chief Executive of Morton Fraser LLP, said: 

“The pandemic reset everybody’s view of work-life balance. We have responded to that by investing heavily in a place that aids collaboration and mental wellbeing while still providing the facilities needed for the rigours of legal work. People should enjoy coming to the office and we have worked hard to make it a place people want to, rather than have to, be. This is a great example of putting our people first, ensuring they have the flexibility and resources they need to flourish.”

Morton Fraser has also appointed two Ukrainian lawyers through the Interlaw network, offering them both employment and training in Scotland. 

Chris Harte said: “We take our social responsibilities very seriously and felt it was important to respond to the call for help when it came from Interlaw and our colleagues in Ukraine. I know many Scottish firms have tried to support Ukrainian lawyers. It is heartening to see the sector come together to offer some hope to those in desperate circumstances.”
