Chambers USA, one of the leading independent legal referral guides relied on by general counsel, recently bestowed top honors on numerous Morrison & Foerster practice areas and attorneys in its 2009 rankings of the best law firms and practitioners.
Chambers USA has named 33 of our practice areas in its 2009 rankings. Of particular note are first-time rankings for our D.C.-based Intellectual Property practice, our nationwide Aviation Litigation practice, and our California Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation practice. Our Technology & IT Outsourcing practice additionally gained promotion to Band 1 in New York.
In terms of recommended individuals, the firm also scored well. Chambers USA recommended 71 of our attorneys this year (16 of whom were recommended across multiple practice areas), a considerable increase on last year's figure. Of these, 17 attorneys were recommended for the first time.
