Baker McKenzie is pleased to announce its inclusion as a top 10 firm in Global Arbitration Review's GAR 30 ranking. The Firm's 2025 ranking is a significant jump from last year's 13th place. The GAR 30 is an annual ranking that recognizes the world's leading international arbitration practices. Baker McKenzie's rise in the rankings is a testament to the Firm's dedication to providing top-tier arbitration services and unwavering focus on delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.
A firm’s GAR 30 score derives from several factors, including:
- The number of hearings of above USD 10 million it took part in (merits and jurisdictional) in a two-year period.
- The value at stake in those hearings.
- Its performance in the Lexology Index: Arbitration and Lexology Index: Arbitration – Future Leaders (previously Who’s Who Legal).
- The number of pending cases in which a firm’s members are sitting as arbitrators.
- The hours it billed to arbitration in the past two years.
"We are thrilled to be recognized among the top 10 global arbitration practices," said Andy Moody, Chair of the Firm’s Global International Arbitration Steering Committee. "This accomplishment underscores the hard work and expertise of our arbitration team, whose commitment to ensuring our clients receive the highest level of service and representation is unwavering."
Baker McKenzie's International Arbitration practice is one of the largest, busiest, and most ranked arbitration teams in the world. With arbitration practitioners in major financial and arbitration centers worldwide, as well as key emerging markets, we are already on the ground when disputes arise, providing easy access and cost savings, backed by the strength and resources of a global law firm.
