Technology Sector (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Morrison Foerster particularly stands out in the market for its grasp of cross-border work between the US and Asian markets, which is driven by the firm's longstanding investment into its technology sector expertise. The firm is an appealing choice for large corporations and established players invested in areas such as electronics and biopharma, and has a particularly strong track record in handling inbound and outbound transactions involving the USA, Japan and China, frequently representing clients on both sides of the Pacific

As one of the core areas of the law firm's industry focus, advising technology clients is at the heart of the practice across its West and East Coast offices, with highly-rated skills across IP, data privacy, cybersecurity and outsourcing projects. It is also renowned for its transactional work in the sector, acting on a mixture of large M&A and venture capital deals including a large number of investments into US companies from Japan, China and other Asian jurisdictions, with the firm's strength and presence in that region of the world making it equally adept at inbound and outbound cross-border work. Working with technology companies focused on the US and Israel markets is also a key theme of the firm's practice.
