by NAW Staff on Wednesday 27 June 2012

Morrison & Foerster was named the No. 1 clean technology law firm by Vault.com as part of its annual practice area rankings.

To determine the ranking, Vault polled nearly 17,000 associates to vote for up to three firms they consider strongest in their own practice area; however, they were not permitted to vote for their own firm. The company says its rankings are used by law students and associates as a resource for career searches.

According to Vault, here are the top 10 cleantech law firms:

Morrison & Foerster
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati
Latham & Watkins
Chadbourne & Parke
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe
Stoel Rives
Baker Botts / Vinson & Elkins (tie)
