Morris, Manning & Martin benefited from an improving real estate market while the firm also looked to branch out into new areas, especially legal work for foreign-based clients. The firm’s international inbound practice represented clients from China, Brazil and England in intellectual property and securities cases. Morris Manning celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2011 and decided to remain in Atlanta Financial Center after considering a move. Managing partner Louise M. Wells said the firm is renovating its offices, a move she hopes will attract laterals.
