Firm Overview:

Baker McKenzie helps clients overcome the challenges of competing in the global economy through a new type of thinking and a different mindset.
It understands that in a rapidly changing legal market, clients have new expectations, constantly evolving choices and operate in an environment of heightened reputational and commercial risk. Its strength is its ability to solve complex legal problems by collaborating across borders and practice areas, using transformative technology and dealing with people with empathy.
There is no doubt these are unsettling times for business. It is a time of relentless volatility and ambiguity: with the complexities of globalisation, economic and political uncertainty, disruptive new business models, cyber insecurity and multiplying layers of regulation. The firm’s clients want a new breed of lawyers who can look a decade or more ahead to help them navigate a constantly changing and challenging world. The firm's broad, multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural client teams ensures that it has the best global and local talent on each project, while its business model allows the firm to harness emerging technologies to optimise the delivery of legal advice. By leveraging the breadth of the firm's global reach and the diversity of its practices, sector specialists, and people, Baker McKenzie brings the whole firm to its clients.
Baker McKenzie more than meets these challenges. Its people share common values of integrity, personal responsibility and tenacity in an enthusiastic clientservice culture. The firm is still guided by the entrepreneurial spirit and demanding standards of its founders and works to forge close personal relationships among its professionals in order to foster the responsiveness and accountability clients rightfully expect. The firm has a diverse and welcoming culture. Its lawyers and other professionals are citizens of more than 70 countries and are admitted to practice in nearly 250 jurisdictions. The firm speaks more than 80 languages, with English in common. It has offices in 78 locations worldwide, including in 34 of the world’s 40 largest economies
