About

Provided by Baker McKenzie

Corporate is at the heart of Baker McKenzie: Corporate/M&A lawyers coordinate multidisciplinary teams to provide solutions that match business needs and work with the Tax, Banking & Finance, Financial Services Regulatory, Real Estate, Employment, Litigation, Insolvency & Restructuring, Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare, Litigation, Regulatory, Insurance, Competition and IP teams. 

Our firm is known for the wide range of deals it participates in (takeover bids, auctions, horizontal, vertical and concentric diversifications, etc.). Using an eminently flexible and adaptive approach, we provide counsel on a large variety of deals involving large multinationals to mid-cap firms and various volumes. 

We are well-known for the emphasis we give to the post-deal phase, which goes beyond providing our client with high-level technical advice. We have a reputation for planning, ensuring and monitoring full integration in every deal, given the strength and quality of other departments supporting the M&A practice, such tax, labour, IP, regulatory, IT and privacy, and litigation practices. 

The scope of our assistance is comprehensive, as our M&A deals involve a team that is customarily made up of lawyers from various practice areas to give clients the added value they need and to cover all aspects of every transaction.
