Led by lawyers recognised by the independent legal directors, our expert Parliamentary team at Morton Fraser MacRoberts advises clients on matters which require both complex legal expertise and political sensitivity.
We provide a range of advisory services on Scottish parliamentary and constitutional issues, including monitoring proposed legislation and its legal and commercial implications, drafting and vetting briefing papers, press releases and letters to parliamentary stakeholders, drafting and vetting responses to public consultations, advising on parliamentary and judicial procedures for challenges to proposed legislation, advising on protocols for securing powers and consents and advising on EU law considerations.
Clients also benefit from our ability to draw on the legal expertise of our colleagues in transport, planning, environment, employment, regulatory, government and public sector to provide wider contextual advice on particular proposals.
