About Baker McKenzie

For 75 years, Baker McKenzie has helped clients navigate the complexities of an ever changing world.

From the civil rights movement, to fall of the Berlin wall and the invention of the world wide web, we've witnessed fundamental shifts in business and society over the last eight decades. But as the original global law firm, we've been steadfast in solving our clients’ problems – wherever they are in the world – by providing a unique blend of local expertise and global context.

With a rich history and a commitment to the future, we look forward to seeing what we can achieve in partnership with our clients over the next 75 years.

But before there was Baker McKenzie, Russell Baker and John McKenzie shared a taxi ride home by chance – planting the seeds for what would later become the world's leading global law firm. Hear from some of our colleagues about what it's like working for the Firm today.
