What the Team is Known For

Baker McKenzie is globally recognised for its vast network of offices, and the law firm has a well-established track record in Australia that stretches back decades. Clients frequently attest to the firm's international reach as a key factor in their decision to engage it, notably on matters with US or Asian aspects and for clients based in those regions.

The law firm is particularly singled out for its experience advising on cross-border acquisitions for Australian and international clients and is also recommended for its ability to deliver on US-Australia capital markets mandates. The team also draws praise from clients for its ability to coordinate cross-border financing advice between multiple offices in varied locations across the UK, Europe, Singapore and Australia.
