Every Voice is Heard

For over 40 years, MoFo has been committed to creating a culture that respects and celebrates differences. It is in essence who we are as a firm. By bringing our diverse experiences to work, while recognizing our similarities and fostering an environment where everyone’s contributions are valued, we strengthen the quality of the service that we provide to the legal profession, our colleagues, clients and communities. 

We’ve been a long-time champion for inclusivity within the legal profession and take pride in the diverse perspectives that our people bring to the workplace. We believe that lawyers with different backgrounds, interests and experiences work together to create better solutions and offer innovative perspectives for our clients. We continuously work to attract, develop and retain talented lawyers from all backgrounds.

Affinity Groups

Globally, MoFo has over 35 affinity groups that provide support networks and programming for various employee groups. In the London office specifically, we have affinity groups for members and allies of a range of communities, but all are open to everyone. 

MoFo London’s active LGBTQ+ affinity group, MoFo Proud, brings together members of their community and its allies. The LGBTQ+ affinity group provides a forum to discuss issues of concern to the LGBTQ+ community and works to advance networking opportunities within the London office and the broader firm, with clients and across the broader London business community. We’re proud that our chair emeritus was the first openly gay managing partner of an international law firm.

MoFo Together aims to address barriers to equal opportunity by raising awareness and providing dedicated support to help every individual at Morrison Foerster live their potential. Valuing, respecting and celebrating cultural differences are fundamental to growing and sustaining an inclusive workforce and improving the experience of underrepresented groups. MoFo Together seeks to do this, and more, by spearheading initiatives to create a great place to work.

MoFo Women holds events addressing global topics and regional ones with a packed agenda of programmes for women and allies. The group offers a forum to explore and openly discuss topics that women face in the profession now and in the future. Our senior women lawyers in London also work closely with firm leadership, including the firm’s chair, firmwide managing partners and board of directors, to ensure that equal opportunity is a constant strategic priority.

MoFo Access’s mission is to address barriers and accessibility challenges into the legal profession. Both internally and externally, MoFo Access supports the social mobility agenda while ensuring the firm extends this support beyond the workplace.
