Global Mergers & Acquisitions

Reliability across borders


Rapid change, market volatility, management of stakeholders, credit constraints and global competitive forces make high value targets riskier to pursue, especially across borders. Well-planned strategies and their effective implementation are critical to getting deals done.

When it comes to complex transactions, you need advisers with deep knowledge, vast experience and global reach. As one of the world’s most active transactional firms, Baker & McKenzie brings a unique global and strategic perspective to help preserve and optimize deal benefits. Our practice spans 42 countries and includes more than 1,200 M&A lawyers with authentic knowledge of local regulations and transaction management procedures in varied deal contexts. Whether you are buying or selling, entering into a joint venture, or making a strategic investment, we approach each transaction with legal, financial and business fluency, offering sound and practical advice at every stage. Collaborating across borders and legal areas, we bring the right know-how and experience to anticipate and resolve issues in all involved jurisdictions.

M&A partner Dieter Schmitz discusses international deal trends in corporate compliance, governance and antitrust enforcement and why today's business transactions lawyers must stay one step ahead of clients looking to break into new markets.
Baker & McKenzie Partner Robert Tarun addresses emerging issues such as the Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Act and UK Bribery Act of 2010 in the second edition of the ABA's best-selling FCPA Handbook.
For the eleventh consecutive year, Baker & McKenzie was selected as one of the top corporate law firms in America, ranked 7th, by Corporate Board Member Magazine, which surveyed approximately 330 directors of publicly traded companies. The Firm also ranked 13th in a similar study based on a survey of General Counsel in the country.
