The story of Baker McKenzie is one of imagination, determination and hard work. For more than 60 years, our people have helped nurture our unique global organization.
From starting off with four lawyers, a secretary and fees totaling USD 75,000 in 1949, to becoming one of the largest law firm by revenues, markets and headcount today, our commitment to excellence underpins our path to success.
Our growth has been organic, giving us a strong, common culture that runs through our firm. For six decades we have followed clients into new markets, each time establishing offices driven by local lawyers and talent.
Lawyers who collaborate unusually well across borders, markets and industries around the globe. Lawyers who embrace new ideas and emerging technologies to give businesses confidence in these uncertain times.
Corporate Social Responsibility is an integral part of our work. Leveraging our global footprint and extensive resources, we make a lasting difference to many of today’s social and economic challenges.
Through our pro bono work we contribute to peaceful negotiations, protect the persecuted, advise on environmental projects and guide government policy.
Diversity is a cornerstone of our culture. We believe an inclusive workplace gives clients true insight and exceptional service. This isn’t only good for business, but the right thing to do.
