What is the Who's Who Legal 70?
Founded in 1883, Morrison & Foerster has grown into an international legal heavyweight with over 1,000 lawyers deployed across 15 offices in key financial and technological centres in the United States, Asia and Europe. The 50 listings we select across 19 practice areas reflect the firm’s depth and breadth of international expertise.
Morrison & Foerster’s largest contingent is to be found in the real estate chapter where 10 lawyers are selected. Senior counsel to the firm Carl Seneker is described by sources as “exceptional” and a “dean of the real estate bar”. New York-based Mark Edelstein is a “leading light”. Three practitioners are included from the firm’s Asia practice where Eric Piesner is a “first-class practitioner” with an “impressive client portfolio” that includes ING Real Estate and Kajima Corporation. Keisuke Mochizuki is a “great name” for fund formation, financing transactions, property acquisitions and development projects, while Theodore Seltzer is noted for his cross-border equity and debt financing work for US and Japanese institutional investors.
Life sciences is another strength for the firm – six practitioners are awarded the “A grade”, including “superstars” Gladys Monroy and Kate Murashige. The “sensational” Rachel Krevans “can formulate a winning strategy to topple the toughest of odds” and in London, Julian Paul Thurston is a “very talented practitioner”.
Six names feature for their environment expertise. In San Francisco, past president of the American College of Environmental Law, Michèle Corash is “truly outstanding” and one of the most highly regarded individuals worldwide. Peter Falk is “terrific” and in Los Angeles, Peter Hsiao is a “go to name”.
The “excellent” Cheryl Tritt is “very highly recommended” in our regulatory communications chapter. James Brosnahan is selected for his expertise in commercial litigation. Roland Brandel is a “very fine practitioner” and is listed in our banking chapter, alongside two further “top tier” names, Barbara Mendelson and Henry Fields.
With a host of first-class lawyers highlighted in a range of additional practice areas, Morrison & Foerster earns a place among the elite law firms in the publication again this year.
