Morton Fraser MacRoberts‘s practice spans an array of matters, ranging from issues surrounding the legal capacity of trustees and executors to matters relating to undue influence and duress. At the helm of the practice, Richard McMeeken is dual-qualified in Scotland as well as England and Wales, making him well-placed to advise on cross-border contentious trusts and probate matters. Catriona MacPhail specialises in advising estate landowners and business owners on executry and trust management.  With strong credentials in tax matters, James Inglis advises on the creation, use and variation of trusts for asset protection. The firm gained Claire Macpherson from Burness Paull LLP in February 2026.
