About

Morrison Foerster

Morrison Foerster is a global law firm closely associated with technology-driven industries and the legal questions created by new platforms and business models. Its differentiator is the depth of its work where corporate transactions, intellectual property, data, artificial intelligence and complex litigation intersect.

Morrison Foerster, commonly branded as MoFo, is an international law firm with a major San Francisco presence and offices across important business and technology markets. The firm advises corporations, investors, financial institutions and emerging companies on transactions, disputes and regulatory matters in the United States and abroad. Its practices include corporate and finance, mergers and acquisitions, litigation, intellectual property, privacy and data security, technology transactions, artificial intelligence, investigations, employment and other business-focused areas. The firm's client base and published work are particularly concentrated in technology, life sciences, financial services and other sectors where intellectual property and regulation play large roles. MoFo's technology orientation is a core distinction. Its lawyers work on legal issues involving data use, AI development and deployment, software and platform businesses alongside established corporate and trial practices. That gives the firm experience with matters where technical architecture, licensing, privacy, regulation and commercial risk interact.
