Morrison & Foerster has hired two outsourcing experts from Alston & Bird.
Christopher Ford and Scott Stevenson advised the state of Georgia in a $1.7 billion contract to outsource information technology services for various state agencies.
The two join Morrison & Foerster’s Washington, DC office. Ford joins as a partner, and Stevenson as of counsel.
In May, the firm deferred incoming associates; and in February slashed bonuses and froze salaries.
Morrison & Foerster LLP has more than 1,000 lawyers in 19 offices. The firm was founded in San Francisco in 1883.
