David Bresnick is to join Morrison & Foerster’s London office as a partner in the corporate practice.
Bresnick (pictured) represents technology and telecom companies in mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, private equity investments and related matters.
Bresnick joins the firm from CMS Cameron McKenna’s London office, where he headed the firm’s private equity group and led the firm’s corporate telecoms, media and technology group.
His addition, which follows the arrival in London earlier this year of corporate and private equity partner Justin Stock, continues the firm’s strategic expansion of its private equity, M&A and cross-border transactional capabilities in key financial centres.
“The growth and development of our M&A and other transactional practices, particularly in London, is a core element of the firm’s strategic plan. David continues an important expansion of our M&A and private equity capabilities in business and technology centres such as New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Silicon Valley,” says Keith Wetmore, chair of Morrison & Foerster.
“I’ve been impressed by MoFo’s strong global M&A and private equity team and, of course, the firm’s leading position in the technology sector,” says Bresnick. “The firm’s deep capabilities in IP and tech licensing, tax, employment, litigation and other areas provide a wealth of resources for clients with sophisticated transactional needs. I am excited to join MoFo and look forward to contributing to the continued expansion of the London Corporate group.”
Bresnick spent his entire career – more than 20 years – as a corporate M&A lawyer with CMS representing large, mid-sized and emerging tech companies.
