'We are delighted to become partners of Morrison & Foerster,' said Christoph Wagner, a leading media, M&A and regulatory lawyer, as reported on PR Newswire.  'We believe this combination will deliver many benefits to our clients and to MoFo's well-known TMT clients across its offices in Tokyo, London, New York, Northern California and elsewhere.
