SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
Founded in 1883, Morrison & Foerster provides clients from many
industries with an array of legal services. The firm has been a real estate
leader in both the United States and Asia. It is consistently recognized
for its outstanding expertise and client service in representing lenders,
developers and equity investors in all major real estate product areas.
“They really know how to be user-friendly for a client. It’s possible to have
outside counsel that really operates like inside counsel. That’s how MoFo
is for us,” says David Hennefer, president of Pacific Eagle Holdings Corp.,
a client of 20 years. “The great thing about MoFo is they have the best
lawyers across all the disciplines. Our primary point’s a real estate lawyer,
but we often need litigators, we need tax counsel, we need corporate
counsel. They can provide the depth of all of these disciplines and the
lawyer you get in each of those disciplines are top [quality].”
