About
Provided by Baker McKenzie
Baker McKenzie's Corporate and Commercial Litigation practice has continued to grow in size, experience and expertise. The firm's global network uniquely positions the practice to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional disputes. They act for a wide range of clients, including ultra-high net worth individuals, and they continuously and seamlessly co-ordinate international litigation projects from London, and litigate cases in London originating from other international offices and their clients.
All of Baker McKenzie's corporate & commercial litigators are aligned to industry groups, meaning cases are run by litigators who specialise in the client's sector of business which gives them a real advantage, and is a key reason why clients return again and again.
The team have extremely high-quality specialisms in fraud, financial crime, administrative & public law, and regulatory investigations, all of which are frequently required in complex corporate and commercial disputes and which often have significant reputational impact for clients.
