Established in San Francisco in 1883, Morrison & Foerster is a firm of exceptional credentials. We are recognized throughout the world as a leader in providing cutting-edge legal advice on matters that are redefining practices and industries. We collaborate across a global network of 16 offices located in key technology and financial centers in the United States, Asia, and Europe.
For more than 20 years, Morrison & Foerster has shown commitment to the social enterprise and impact investing space. Practice group chair and partner Susan Mac Cormac was honored in 2015 by the Financial Times as the Most Innovative North American Lawyer for her work championing innovation in social enterprises and impact investing and was named by California Lawyer as Attorney of the Year in 2012 (for creating a new corporate form, now the Social Purpose Corporation) and in 2016 (for impact investing and sale of Imprint Capital to Goldman Sachs). The Financial Times recognized the firm again in its 2016 North America Innovative Lawyers Report as joint winners with firm client NPX Advisors for structuring the world’s first Impact Security. Along with Ms. Mac Cormac, the firm has a team of attorneys in the corporate, finance, tax, patent, and licensing groups who are passionate about solving the world’s biggest problems through innovative businesses and mission-focused investments.
