LOS ANGELES (April 22, 2013) – Morrison & Foerster has relocated its Los Angeles office to 707 Wilshire Boulevard, after more than 20 years in offices in the Gas Company Tower at 555 West 5th Street. The new office is housed in the top four floors of the 62-story Aon Center in downtown, and occupies more than 77,000-square feet. The building is bounded by Wilshire Boulevard, 6th Street, Flower Street and Hope Street, and located within one mile of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Our Lady of Angels Cathedral, the Staples Center and Los Angeles Convention Center.
"Aon Center offers an efficient design that includes room for future strategic expansion. The new office has a generous floor plan, open spaces, and welcomed technology, infrastructure and logistics improvements," said Gregory Koltun, managing partner of Morrison & Foerster's Los Angeles office. "The new space will enhance collaboration between our lawyers and professional staff and is especially convenient for clients coming into downtown. It's a great long-term home for our LA practice."
One of the largest law firms in California, Morrison & Foerster maintains five full-service offices statewide, including San Francisco, Palo Alto, San Diego and Sacramento. The firm's Los Angeles office, founded in 1974, has approximately 100 lawyers, and is a leader in providing transactional, regulatory, real estate, employment, patent and litigation services to financial institutions, venture and institutional investors, Fortune 500 and technology-based companies, and the real estate and entertainment industries.
Morrison & Foerster has entered into a 15-year lease at the building, which was designed in the early 1970s by Charles Luckman and was awarded LEED Gold certification in 2010. For many years, Aon Center defined the Los Angeles skyline and it remains one of the tallest, most recognizable buildings on the West Coast.
