The Morris Nichols Difference

Morris Nichols has achieved a significant national presence, while retaining its character as a Delaware firm: collegial, dedicated to its community and bar, and eminently qualified to serve clients in local, national, and global markets. 

Our commitment to the highest quality of service requires equally high levels of commitment and talent from our greatest resource: our people.  Attorneys and staff cultivate and enjoy the greatest respect for each other.  These relationships sustain us day after day and during times of peak effort and inspire us to continue to grow and develop as individuals, as colleagues and as coworkers.

Our Clients

Morris Nichols represents global giants from the myriad of industries that incorporate in Delaware.  Our attorneys are credited with shaping the business-friendly legislation that has made Delaware home to more than 59% of the largest corporations in the U.S. and the world.   

Our clients include Fortune 500 companies, complex alternative legal entities, smaller firms and partnerships, financial institutions, government agencies, law firms, and not-for-profit organizations.  The firm is regularly involved as lead counsel or co-counsel in matters of national and international significance, as well as matters affecting our immediate community. 

National Recognition

As rankings by Chambers, Best Lawyers, Thompson Financial, Bloomberg and many other published reports attest, Morris Nichols is a premier law firm with national standing and a national practice.  For example, IP Law & Business ranks Morris Nichols first nationally in the number of patent litigation cases brought in 2005. Bloomberg ranks us among the top five firms in the country for deals announced or completed in the United States in 2005.

Legal Solutions

Morris Nichols maintains a “big city” practice in terms of its legal sophistication and technological capital investment.  Our partners and associates come from the top-tier schools in the country.  Although our level of expertise is rivaled only by some larger national firms, our fee structure is considerably more favorable and cost-effective.

Global Connection

The firm is the Delaware representative of TerraLex, a global network of 150 independent law firms and 12,000 attorneys in nearly 100 countries.
