EDINBURGH-based Morton Fraser put in a strong year, growing turnover by just less than 20 per cent to hit £13.3m.

The firm's public sector department performed well, winning Morton Fraser the choice role of sole adviser to the Ministry of Defence in Scotland for five years.

Morton Fraser faced down competition from Scottish legal market giants Dundas & Wilson and Shepherd & Wedderburn as well as the Scottish arm of UK firm Pinsent Masons.

Other clients in this area for Morton Fraser include the Scottish Executive and the Office of the Solicitor to the Advocate General.

The occasional lateral hire has helped support the firm's organic growth. In April 2005 Morton Fraser scooped corporate partner Austin Flynn from Edinburgh rival Murray Beith Murray to head the firm's recently opened Glasgow office.

The banking group also received a notable boost this year after the firm hired structured finance specialist Andrew Meakin from Maclay Murray & Spens.
