Firm Description

Baker & McKenzie is a leading global law firm with more than 70 offices in 38 countries. Operating as a Limited Liability Partnership, with a presence in virtually every important financial and commercial centre in the world, our strategy is to provide the best combination of local legal and commercial knowledge and international expertise and resources. Our trainee solicitors are a vital part of that strategy and are exposed right from the start to the international scope of the Firm with the possibility of an overseas secondment. Recent secondees have spent time in our Sydney, Hong Kong, Moscow, Chicago and Washington offices.

In London, Baker & McKenzie is an established City firm of solicitors with a strong domestic and foreign client base providing legal services to multi-national and domestic corporations, financial institutions, governments and entrepreneurs. At the heart of the firm is the Corporate Department which has acknowledged expertise in cross-border M&A, international securities work, and private equity. Our Corporate Department utilises our unrivalled international network, acting for venture capital houses, investment banks and large multinationals co-ordinating multi-jurisdictional transactions. We also have a strong local reputation in several important specialist areas such as Banking & Finance, Intellectual Property and Information Technology, Telecoms, Employment, Pensions, Projects and Dispute Resolution.
