Morrison Foerster
The international litigation practice at Morrison Foerster consists of a range of lawyers acting across commercial, securities, white-collar, antitrust, and product liability-related disputes. The US capabilities of the firm are bolstered by connections with offices in leading jurisdictions, frequently working with London, Brussels, and other key areas. A merger with Durie Tangri LLP in early 2023 saw the capabilities of the firm expand, particularly in the IP litigation space, with this expansion continuing, including Nathaniel Mendell in Boston. At leadership level, San Francisco-based Christine Wong and Austin-based Bradley Wine are key names. Also of note are Kenneth Kuwayti, who is based in Palo Alto and sustains a focus on intellectual property work, often in the tech space, and San Diego-based Brian Kramer, with a patent litigation focus, both in the US and further afield.
