At Morrison Foerster (MoFo), we couldn’t write our own success story without yours.

We are a global law firm, across 18 offices in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Our US offices include Austin, Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Palo Alto, San Diego, San Francisco, and Washington DC.

 

Our clients include some of the largest technology and life sciences companies, financial institutions, startup and mature fintech companies, leading consumer product companies, and other market leaders from across the globe. We handle some of the world’s largest cross-border transactions and resolve major disputes across multiple jurisdictions. Our global offices are strategically located where our clients operate, allowing our attorneys to become subject-matter authorities in the industries they serve and the products and services their clients offer.

In 2017, Morrison Foerster joined a select group of major law firms and corporate legal departments in Diversity Lab’s pilot program of the Mansfield Rule. In 2018, Diversity Lab launched Mansfield Certification Plus status. Morrison Foerster is among a select number of firms that has held this distinction every year since its launch.

 

Our affinity group programs for lawyers of color, LGBTQ+, and women lawyers create a strong community and reinforce our culture of inclusion.Launched in 2008, the programs have expanded to include more than three dozen affinity groups across the firm.

 

MoFo Navigate
MoFo understands how important it is that you find the right mentor to help you navigate your career and we take a holistic approach to professional growth. Through the MoFo Navigate program, we help you expand your professional network, observe the relationships that form naturally, and leverage those organic bonds to match you with a mentor. We train both mentor and mentee on how to make the most of the relationship, facilitate regular meaningful touchpoints between mentor and mentee, and create dedicated time to engage in the act of mentoring. MoFo Navigate responds to the changing needs of an attorney as they grow and develop at the firm, all with an eye toward equity and inclusion.

 

Balanced Life. Balanced Career.
As a firm, MoFo has long recognized that our lawyers have responsibilities outside the firm that need to be supported. Our work culture embraces the flexibility that virtually everyone needs from time to time. Our dedication to providing robust support programs that meet the unique needs of our staff and our attorneys and create a culture of opportunity has earned us the reputation of one of the most family-friendly work environments in the legal profession.

 

MoFo’s designated Work-Life Task Force hosts programs to support attorneys and staff throughout the year, including time management seminars, flexible work arrangement panels, and support groups for working parents, to name a few. We understand that taking better care of yourself helps you be at your best for your team and clients.

 

Our parental leave policy is one of the most generous in the legal industry. Primary caregivers, regardless of gender, may take up to 22 weeks of paid parental leave following the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child.

 

Designated caregivers may take up to 8 weeks of paid parental leave following the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child. Additional baby bonding time is also available to all caregivers. As a matter of policy, we automatically grant reduced-hours arrangements to all lawyers who return to work from parental leave. We also offer “transition time” to assist lawyers’ transition before and after a parental leave.
