Moscow, April, 23, 2009 – Chambers Europe awarded Baker & McKenzie in Russia the 2009 Award for Excellence – International Law Firm of the Year. The award honours notable achievements over the past year, including outstanding work, impressive strategic growth and excellence in client service. This is the first time Baker & McKenzie has received the prestigious accolade from Chambers.
"We are delighted to receive this award which coincides with the 20th anniversary of our Moscow office. Twenty years ago we were the first international law firm to open an office in Moscow. Twenty years later we are recognized with this accolade, which is a recognition of our continued pre-eminence in the Russian market,” said Carol Patterson, Baker & McKenzie Managing Partner of the Moscow office. "This award proves that we're on the right track - that our strategy of providing a wide range of services to a broad client base of international and Russian companies is sound and viable. It’s also an affirmation of the confidence and trust our clients place in us, which is especially encouraging given the challenging economic environment. Lastly, this award wouldn't have been possible without the valuable contributions of our St. Petersburg office, which has for the past several years been recognized as a top law firm by Chambers Europe."
