Morrison & Foerster has elected 10 lawyers to its partnership. The firm announced the new class of partners in a short statement.
Morrison & Foerster, often called MoFo, is an international law firm that was founded in San Francisco. It has a strong presence in California, and it also has offices across the United States, Europe and Asia.
Partner elections are a major step for any law firm. Lawyers usually spend many years as associates before they are considered, so making partner marks a turning point in a legal career. For the firm, a new class also shows where it sees its future leaders.
Large firms tend to announce these promotions once a year. The size of each class can change from year to year, since it depends on the firm’s needs and the strength of its candidates. This time, the firm chose 10 lawyers.
The headline does not list the names, offices or practice areas of the new partners. Still, the news is clear. Ten lawyers have joined the partnership at Morrison & Foerster, and they now share in the leadership and ownership of the firm.
