Baker McKenzie

Baker McKenzie is a global law firm that advises clients on complex, multijurisdictional matters. The cross-border nature of its work is a defining feature of its practice: around 65% of the deals it handles span more than one jurisdiction. The firm operates from more than 70 offices across more than 40 locations, giving it one of the broader geographic footprints in legal services and the ability to staff matters across borders rather than refer them out.

The firm's lawyers work in a notably international environment, with the workforce collectively speaking over 90 languages. This breadth supports the handling of intricate issues arising in a rapidly changing regulatory and commercial landscape, including what the firm describes as the convergence of risk facing its clients.

Beyond client work, Baker McKenzie runs an innovation programme called Reinvent by Baker McKenzie, which brings together change initiatives intended to improve client outcomes. The firm states that its working culture is built on collaboration, innovation and inclusion, and that it embeds sustainability across its operations in relation to clients, people, communities and the environment. It also describes a commitment to responsible business practices.
