The Lawyer has named Morrison Foerster’s (MoFo) Steven James in its “Hot 100” list for 2025. The annual list recognises London-based attorneys who stand out for excellence in the field, alongside having an innovative approach to legal services.
The Lawyer recognised Steven James for his commitment to utilising MoFo’s technology and EC/VC experience to launch the MoFounders initiative, a community of business Founders, Entrepreneurs, Investors and Advisors.

To say he hit the ground running would be an understatement. Among the initiatives James has launched, and alongside his regular IP work for fast-growing companies, is MoFounders, a networking project designed to enhance MoFo’s value-add for its emerging company and venture capital clients. It neatly encapsulates James’s can-do approach to making deals and connections in the sector happen. MoFounders is about collaborations, introductions, synergies, connections and creativity”.
