Celebrating 40 Years in Asia
Celebrating 40 Years in Asia
This year marks the 40th anniversary of Morrison Foerster’s presence in Asia. In March 1983, we entered the Asia market by opening the Hong Kong office, our first office outside the United States. The objective was to expand our legendary client service and best-in-class legal services to Asia-based clients and multinational clients with business interests in the region. Today, Morrison Foerster is one of the largest and longest standing international law firms in Asia. MoFo Asia continues to consistently deliver exceptional client service while making positive contributions to our communities.
Over the past 40 years, Morrison Foerster has been recognized time and again for our work on both domestic and cross-border matters and for helping our clients navigate the complex legal hurdles in the market. We have made a positive impact through our pro bono and community activities, living out our shared value of giving back to the local communities where we work and live. To commemorate our 40th anniversary in Asia, The Morrison & Foerster Foundation will make a special grant to support organizations serving underprivileged communities in China, Japan, and Singapore.
Eric Piesner, Asia managing partner, commented, “Our longstanding commitment to Asia, our collaborative culture and our success across the region is what makes MoFo stand out. We thank all of our employees in Asia for what they have done to build our practices and support our communities in Asia as we help our clients navigate their most pressing challenges across the region.”
Throughout 2023, we will be celebrating this special anniversary with events and stories showcasing the accomplishments and contributions of MoFo Asia.
