Private Equity International (PEI) has chosen Morrison Foerster as its 2024 Law Firm of the Year in Asia Pacific: Transactions. For more than two decades, the annual PEI Awards have recognized the top performing firms, funds, and deals in the private equity industry across the globe.
With more than 40 lawyers in Asia focusing on private equity work, MoFo is one of the region’s leading practices, engaging in all types of private equity-related transactions, from buyouts and minority investments to exit transactions. With the recent addition of several senior PE/M&A partners, including Xiaoxi Lin in Hong Kong, Scott Jalowayski in Singapore, and Greg Salathé and Stephen DeCosse in Japan, our Asia PE/M&A team continues to enhance its offerings in the region. This strategic growth also underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional service in private equity transactions in the region.
The MoFo team was recognized for its work advising on over 60 private equity matters across Asia, with an aggregate deal value of more than US$52 billion over the past 12 months. Our team’s continued and sustained success has led to significant market recognitions, including being ranked by Chambers as a Band 1 Law Firm for Corporate/M&A: Private Equity in Asia, and for Corporate/M&A in Japan: Corporate/M&A, and being recognized by The Legal 500 as a Tier 1 Law Firm for Private Equity in China and for Corporate and M&A in Japan.
