ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
THE SCOOP
In 1973 those cats in San Fran approved “MoFo” as Morrison & Foerster’s official nickname, accentuating the firm’s unconventional modus operandi. Still, the firm is distinguished by much more than its rebel epithet. MoFo complements its expertise in finance, life sciences, technology, IP and litigation with a long reach across the Pacific Rim. And staying true to its roots in a city of peace and love, the firm’s pro bono commitment is deeply held.

Q&A WITH Morrison & Foerster LLP
What are people saying about MoFo?
The American Lawyer
In 2012, we were included in The American Lawyer's annual A-List, marking the ninth consecutive year that the firm has been ranked. The A-List is AmLaw's effort to "look beyond pure dollars to quantify the qualities that define the 20 most successful law firms in America", by scoring firms on four factors: revenue per lawyer, pro bono commitment, diversity among lawyers, and associate satisfaction.
INSIDE MOFO
The American Lawyer's A-List. Year after year. Reason after reason. There's more to it than revenues and numbers of partners. Ranking among the top firms takes a little something extra -- something about a firm's culture and esprit de corps.
