Students at Scotland’s Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ (Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½) will be offered free legal support to progress business ideas as part of a new partnership with one of Scotland’s largest independent law firms.
The partnership between Morton Fraser and Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½â€™s Enterprise Academy - which was set up to help students develop enterprising mindsets - will also include presentations on relevant legal topics.
In addition, the law firm will become one of the sponsors of the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Enterprise Challenge – a competition which offers students from any programme the opportunity to develop their ideas, win prizes and upskill.
Dr Carol Langston, Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Enterprise Academy Director, said: “We are delighted to announce this important partnership which brings considerable benefits to the Enterprise Academy and Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½â€™s students.
“Morton Fraser is a highly respected and experienced law firm which is at the forefront of industry and is keen to collaborate with us as we build an institution-wide enterprise culture for all Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ students.â€
Morton Fraser Chief Executive Chris Harte said: "Given our long-standing relationship with Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½, we are delighted to have the opportunity to work with the Enterprise Academy to help develop the business skills of the next generation and enable our rural communities to grow.Â
“We see this as an agile and evolving partnership to support Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ with the development of the Enterprise Academy and would be pleased to offer other support as the needs of the participants evolve."
