Our involvement with the pro-bono scheme is led by Robin Fallas, a partner in our Charity Law team. A charity lawyer with over 15 years’ experience, Robin has advised charities of all shapes and sizes on all manner of considerations through this service.
At Morton Fraser MacRoberts, we strongly support SCVO’s mission to “support, promote and develop a confident, sustainable voluntary sector in Scotland”. As a leading SME law firm, CSR is part of our every day and we actively encourage our people to contribute to broader society initiatives, with many holding voluntary non-executive board positions with various charities. Our Charity Law team has a deep understanding of the specific challenges facing charities, social enterprises and third sector organisations, and our involvement in the pro bono service is invaluable to us in helping to build a clear picture of the issues affecting all charities across Scotland.
