Morrison & Foerster

Morrison Foerster is a leading global firm, with over 1,000 lawyers in key technology and finance centres in the U.S., Europe and Asia. In Europe we have a team of elite lawyers in our strategic hubs of London, Berlin and Brussels. As a trainee at Morrison Foerster, you’ll be part of a team working on some of the world’s largest cross-border transactions for dynamic technology and life sciences companies, financial institutions and leading consumer product companies. Market leaders come to MoFo for our expertise, knowledge, advice, and individually tailored client service. We handle some of the world’s largest cross-border transactions and resolve some of the biggest disputes across multiple jurisdictions. Our firm was built on, and continues to succeed, because of the talent of our lawyers and their innovative approach in the practice of law. We practice in a collegial environment where we value teamwork, diverse perspectives and employee wellbeing. As our nickname MoFo suggests, we take our work seriously but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Morrison Foerster is partnered with the University of Law to deliver the SQE preparation programmes. 

We will sponsor future MoFo trainees who are completing non-law subjects through the PgDL with the University of Law and offer the SQE+ programme (in addition to SQE 1 and 2 preparation programmes) for all future MoFo trainees completing the SQE route. 

Intentionally chosen for the breadth and depth of teaching expertise, understanding of our key practice areas and wider industry and sector developments, the collaboration ensures that all future trainees have the essential knowledge and commercial awareness for the next steps of their legal career with the firm and provide our future trainees with a well-rounded introduction to the practice and business of law.
