Foley Hoag and our personality, take a look at our history. We were started in 1943 by two extraordinarily diverse individuals. Henry Foley and Garrett Hoag sought to establish a different kind of law firm. They were determined to hire the very best lawyers based entirely on individual merit, a departure from the exclusionary practices common in that era. Today, nearly 225 Foley Hoag lawyers practice law at the highest level in business transactions and litigation matters throughout the United States and around the world. Foley Hoag is an acknowledged regional, national and international dispute-resolution powerhouse, and our lawyers are equally adept at large-scale complex patent litigation; at defending individuals or entities charged with business crimes, securities violations, or professional liability claims; and at safeguarding the business viability of emerging companies. Our corporate practice excels in deal-making, bringing market savvy to our clients’ opportunities, and always on the lookout for how best they can gain a competitive edge.

Food irradiation is physical means of food treatment comparable to heat pasteurization, canning or freezing. The process involves exposing food, either packaged or in bulk, to one of three types of ionizing energy: gamma rays, machine generated electrons or X-rays. This is done in a special processing room or chamber for a specified duration. The most common source of gamma rays for food processing is the radioisotope cobalt 60. Food is treated by cobalt 60 gamma rays in a facility known as an irradiator. Food irradiation employs a particular form of electromagnetic energy known as “ionizing radiation.” This term is used to describe these rays because they cause whatever material they contact to produce electrically charged particles called “ions.”

The Ford Foundation was established on Jan. 15, 1936, with an initial gift of $25,000 from Edsel Ford, whose father Henry, founded the Ford Motor Company. During its early years, the foundation operated in Michigan under the leadership of Ford family members. Since the founding charter stated that resources should be used "for scientific, educational and charitable purposes, all for the public welfare," the foundation made grants to many kinds of organizations. The Ford Foundation supports visionary leaders and organizations working on the frontlines of social change worldwide. Our goals for more than half a century. A fundamental challenge facing every society is to create political, economic and social systems that promote peace, human welfare and the sustainability of the environment on which life depends.

Automobile devotees can look away, maybe. Ford Models is not about selling F150s and Mustangs, but about representing supermodels such as Vendela, Stephanie Seymour, Rachel Hunter, Christie Brinkley, and Veronica Webb. Founded in 1964 by Eileen and Jerry Ford, the agency established a reputation for providing a caring, parental environment for its models (Eileen and Jerry often invited younger models into their own home and acted as surrogate guardians). The company hosts an annual Ford Supermodel of the World Contest that attracts more than 60,000 applicants from around the world. The founding Ford family sold an equity stake in Ford Models to Stone Tower Equity Partners in late 2007.
