Morrison & Foerster is one of 10 top law firms cited by Thomson in their latest European Equity Capital Markets Tables. In the rankings published for 1st January to 30th June 2006, the firm was positioned:

• 5th equal by number of issues for All EMEA IPO's Issuer Legal Advisors
• 7th equal by number of issues for All EMEA Common Stock Issuer Legal Advisors
• 9th equal by number of issues for All EMEA Equity and Equity-related Issuer Legal Advisors

While the European markets were buoyant in the earlier part of the year, there was some mid-year turbulence in the equity markets in May and June. None the less there is a strong pipeline for the autumn and the firm is well placed to take advantage of this.
