Morrison & Foerster has opened an office in Singapore. The firm now has 16 offices worldwide, including five in Asia: Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo.
“Many of our clients are looking to Southeast Asia and South Asia as significant growth markets. As they expand their businesses in those regions, we want to be positioned to assist them,” said Eric Piesner, firmwide managing partner for Asia. “Singapore is the ideal location from which to do that.”
Chair Larren M Nashelsky said the Singapore office will enhance the firm’s capabilities in the region. “Singapore is a highly attractive commercial environment and a magnet for global brands doing business across Asia,” he said. “We are excited to establish an on-the-ground presence to facilitate our efforts to help clients pursue the many opportunities the city-state presents to them in Singapore and throughout Southeast Asia and South Asia.”
