Company Description
Morrison & Foerster LLP is a full-service and large law firm. It has more than 1,000 lawyers in 19 offices, which makes it an example of a "megafirm". The firm was founded in San Francisco, USA in 1883; its largest office is still located there. It was founded by Alexander Francis Morrison, a graduate of UC Hastings College of Law. Its lawyers have experience in a wide range of areas, including corporate, finance and financial services, life sciences and technology, land use and environmental law, litigation, and mergers and acquisitions.
The firm has a major presence in Asia. Its office in Tokyo, which includes its closely integrated joint enterprise partner, Ito & Mitomi, is the largest American law presence in Japan, with over 90 attorneys, including over 30 attorneys admitted in Japan. It also has offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore. It is currently (2005) acting as outside international counsel for the Beijing Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games of 2008.
Morrison & Foerster is known best for its litigation and intellectual property practices. It has an IPO practice for emerging technology firms concentrated in its San Francisco, Palo Alto, and San Diego offices, as well as New York and Los Angeles. An increasing amount of its IPO work is being done out of its Asian offices due to the general downturn in the technology sector in the Bay Area and New York.
