Overview


Contact:   Steven M. Kaufmann

Morrison & Foerster’s litigators are renowned for their ability to succeed in high-stakes, complex cases. Our litigation talent covers a broad array of practice areas, including securities, antitrust, white collar crime, products liability and patent and trademark. We have extensive experience in individual and class action litigation involving advertising and unfair competition, insurance coverage, and labor and employment matters. Our clients, which include many Fortune 500 companies, span virtually every major industry and sector, including technology, life sciences and healthcare, financial services, consumer products, energy, communications, real estate, airports and aviation.

Morrison & Foerster has 500 litigators located around the world who represent defendants and plaintiffs in federal and state courts, as well as before other tribunals. We work with our clients from pre-litigation counseling through all appeals to reach the winning result that meets our clients’ business objectives.  We offer clients e-discovery resources to help deal with evolving standards for preservation and production of electronically stored information that are critical to achieving success in today's complex litigation environment.

Unlike most large firms, Morrison & Foerster tries cases on a regular basis. We pride ourselves on the diversity and experience of our trial lawyers, many of whom are former federal prosecutors. Our lawyers have tried cases for a wide range of clients, including Altera, Bank of America, City of Oakland, City and County of San Francisco, Chiron, EchoStar, Mervyns, the University of California, and the Walt Disney Company.

Our lawyers have substantial appellate experience in state and federal courts and include some of the most experienced Supreme Court practitioners in the country. We appear in domestic and international alternative dispute resolution proceedings and have experience in administrative and regulatory fora, including the International Trade Commission and Federal Trade Commission.

We are committed to providing superior service to our clients and are proud of the talent and diversity of our people.
