Why Baker McKenzie?


We are first movers	We are agile thinkers	We live by our values
We set up the world’s first climate change practice more than 20 years ago and haven’t stopped innovating since. Because we collaborate with institutions like the WEF, UNGC and WBCSD to shape future debate and policy, we bring unique insight on the direction of travel of sustainability regulation and best practice.	Our expertise on transactions, advisory and contentious matters across all major markets and industries gives us a top-down view on sustainability that matches your needs. We frequently address big picture questions on strategy as well as specific legal risks, both from a global and local perspective.	We are on our own sustainability journey and that means that we share your experiences and challenges and can meet you where you are. Sustainability is at the heart of our strategy and we lead the legal profession on matters of inclusion & diversity, environmental performance, SDG alignment, and more.
