Global Investigations Review (GIR) has named Morrison Foerster one of the Top 30 investigations practices in the world for the sixth consecutive year. The GIR 30 assessment identifies leading firms from around the world that are best suited to handle sophisticated cross-border government-led and internal investigations.

MoFo’s investigations practice “stands out for the high level of professionalism, intellectual rigour and critical thinking displayed by its lawyers,” GIR’s report said. The publication also praised our “innate ability to present even the most complex of legal advice in an easily digestible format to ensure it is accessible to lawyers and non-lawyers alike.”
