Morrison Foerster Recognized in the 2024 edition of The Legal 500 United States Green Guide
Morrison Foerster has been recognized in the 2024 edition of The Legal 500 United States Green Guide. The guide highlights firms that are driving the legal sector’s engagement with a green transition, leading the way on ESG and sustainability issues, and working towards a greener economy. Additionally, MoFo’s Susan (“Suz”) Mac Cormac, co-chair of the firm’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Social Enterprise + Impact Investing practices, was highlighted individually as a leading lawyer for ESG and sustainability.
For the past 25 years, Suz has combined her desire to address climate change and inequality with her profession as a lawyer to come up with ways to benefit the public through mainstream corporate and capital markets solutions. Suz combines an elite corporate and finance practice with a commitment to furthering the cause of environmental and social responsibility in the profit-driven world of business. She advises a myriad of clients on how to form public charities, foundations, and social welfare programs. Her “game-changing, law-shaping, market-moving work” (The Recorder) spans a unique range of complex matters, from advising on 10-figure, late-stage technology investments and high-profile transactions in the clean technology and renewable energy sectors to developing novel nonprofit/for-profit “hybrid” corporate structures and providing corporate governance advice in relation to sustainability.
As a leader in sustainability and social change for over 20 years, MoFo’s global team of corporate, finance, tax, patent, and licensing lawyers together with our crack litigation team provide unrivaled experience counseling and advising on ESG matters in the public and private sectors. And we practice what we preach. We’ve ensured values like climate and D+I are core to who we are and how we help our clients and communities. Our partners are at the forefront of the industry as founding board members of Social Accountability Standards Board (SASB) and on the boards of CERES, Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), the United Nations’ Environment Programme Finance Initiative, and the Climate Registry, among others.
