Morrison & Foerster was at the center at the high-stakes battle for mobile telecom. Longtime client SoftBank called on MoFo’s Robert Townsend and team in taking a 78 percent stake in Sprint Nextel for $21.6 billion. MoFo also represented SoftBank’s interests as Sprint Nextel completed the acquisition of Clearwire, fending off Dish Network’s bids for both Sprint Nextel and Clearwire.
The broad-based corporate practice also advised RE/MAX Holdings in a $253 million IPO, handled follow-on offerings for Restoration Hardware, and advised venture funds in solar power and other investments.
