Morrison & Foerster’s Tokyo office is pleased that 7 of the firm's practice areas and 11 attorneys have been recommended in the 2008/2009 edition of The Asia Pacific Legal 500,  The Guide to Asia’s Commercial Law Firms.

Practice areas and attorney rankings within a The Asia Pacific Legal 500 guide come from extensive independently-conducted research and in-depth interviews with in-house counsel, peers, and competitors in the respective practice field. Researchers spend almost a year canvassing clients and attorneys to obtain a consistent assessment of which firms and attorneys are valued as leaders in their field. No firm or individual attorney can purchase a recommendation in a Asia Pacific Legal 500 guide.
