A Deep Dive into Securities Litigation with Morrison Foerster’s Christin Hill and Michael Komorowski

Christin Hill and Michael Komorowski were featured in a Vault Law Practice Area Resource Center Q&A, discussing their experiences as members of Morrison Foerster’s Securities Litigation, Enforcement, and White Collar Defense Group, the dynamic nature of their work, and advice for junior attorneys.
