Corporate/M&A (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.

The firm's US team, which is spread across offices stationed in key centres, regularly advises on cross-border corporate matters for clients entering the US market and for domestic clients in outbound work. The US M&A group, particularly teams on the West Coast, demonstrates close collaboration with its highly rated Asian-based colleagues and is an excellent choice for Asian M&A with US components. It also earns significant praise for its advice on CFIUS regulations in relation to inbound investments. Combining this experience with the firm's sector focus, the team provides a strong international offering to investors and companies across the US-Asia axis.
