Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘One of the major things I've noticed about Morrison Foersters London's technology transactions team is that they've had very little changes to the team over the years - everybody clearly loves working together and works together well. This is noticeable in their work results as well, very homogenous in quality and responsiveness.’

  • ‘Both Mercedes Samavi and Georgia Wright are real stand-outs. I've worked with them for years and we even had Georgia seconded. They are excellent lawyers, smart and dependable, and with the business sense and risk-calibration that you can let them work directly with your business clients without worry. Highly recommended!’
