Sir, Did You Request a Lawyer or a Mofo?

We reported a few months back on the enterprising way that Hatzis Lawyers is cornering the market by ‘contributing their might to the smart state of Queensland’. Interestingly, it seems that a more lionhearted effort is presently being used in the US.

call us when you bust a cap, sister

According to the Urban Dictionary:

mofo:
Short for mother f*cker. A person who thinks they are the sh*t, dressed down with sagging pants, a high need for a belt, too much gold to make the national reserve jealous, and an attitude that stems from not having parents who knew how to refrain from the use of crack cocaine.
“Hey Dave, look at that putz…man what a mofo.”

So if you’re a crack addicted mofo, taking a wrap for busting a cap, who you gonna call? A fellow mofo, of course!

It is this straightfoward logic which appears to have compelled eminent US law firm Morrison Foerster, a firm employing over 1000 lawyers, to have purchased the internet url www.mofo.com. Yes, mofos need lawyers too and who better to call than a mofo brother?

Like most major law firms, MoFo has a section on its website dedicated to identifying to future employees that it has a track record of being a ‘diversity’ employer.

Consistently ranked as a top law firm for diversity.  For 2007–2008 we ranked:  #5 Diversity – Minorities; #5 Diversity – Gays & Lesbians; #6 Overall Diversity; and #6 Best Firms to Work Fo.

So a mofo can even get a job there! A professional mofo, if you will. Perhaps most impressive, however, is the section dedicated to ‘Mofo in the Community’. This section makes clear that if a mofo is in trouble with the fuzz a fellow mofo will take a stand. Are you happy that a motherf**king lawyer has got your back?

Note: we take it on faith that neither Morrison Forster, nor any of its partners or employees, are, in fact, ‘mofos’ in any sense of that term.  We are not affiliated with any of them and express no view as to their services.
