Morrison Foerster, a global law firm, announced the opening of an office in Seattle.

The firm will welcome 15 partners to its Seattle office. The Seattle group will provide services across the firm’s trial, complex litigation, product liability, and regulatory practices, as well as its technology and AI industry groups. The office is the firm’s 19th globally.

“Seattle represents a critical market for technology and regulated industries, areas that are well aligned with our core capabilities and areas of strategic growth,” said Eric McCrath, Chair of Morrison Foerster. “Given our deep tech roots, Seattle has been an important market for the firm for years, and the timing was right for us to get boots on the ground in one of the most active tech hubs in the world.”

A cornerstone of the Seattle office will be its market-leading litigation practitioners. The team represents companies in the Pacific Northwest, especially in technology, manufacturing, retail, real estate, and life sciences.
