Morton Fraser MacRoberts' family team, resultant of the late-2023 merger between Morton Fraser and MacRoberts LLP, offers substantial cross-border expertise through practice co-head Lucia Clark and Savita Sharma's English law qualifications, and the group's expertise in international forum shopping cases. Fiona Sasan leads the team from Glasgow, acting for a varied client base of owner managed businesses, landed estates, and farms. In Edinburgh, Clark often advises on Anglo-Scottish pre-nuptial arrangements, and is noted for her skills in child inclusive mediation, while Sharma is recommended for sensitive child matters. Rhona Adams retired in April 2023.
