Baker & McKenzie Profile

Baker & McKenzie has 66 offices in 36 countries and employs over 8,000 people worldwide, with a London workforce of around 700. The firm advise on a broad range of corporate and commercial issues in both the domestic and international context.

Since it was established in 1961, Baker & McKenzie's London office has expanded rapidly and today is a leading city law firm providing legal services to corporations, financial institutions, governments and entrepreneurs. At the heart of the firm is the Corporate Department which has acknowledged expertise in international securities work, multi-jurisdictional mergers and acquisitions, strong links with venture capital companies and has acted in relation to several privatisations. They also have a strong local reputation in several important specialist areas such as intellectual property and information technology, telecommunications, employment, pensions, construction and projects, project finance and financial products (such as 'swaps' and derivatives).

As might be expected with a firm with a strong international client base, they have considerable expertise in acting on, and co-ordinating, cross-border transactions and disputes.
