Chicago is the founding office of the Firm, and one of the largest of its more than 65 worldwide locations. Baker & McKenzie is unique among the large, global firms in that many of our lawyers were born and educated in countries throughout the world and can offer first-hand knowledge of local laws and customs. The Chicago office has exceptional depth, for example, in the regions of Asia, Latin America and Europe by virtue of native lawyers with impressive legal, business and political credentials. We have about 200 lawyers working in Chicago.
While the office is structured through practice groups and business lines, we are organized around client relationship managers who coordinate special teams to serve our client base. As clients demand cross-practice solutions, our office has responded with the creation and development of Chicago-based practices such as E-Commerce, Corporate Compliance, Corporate & Securities, M&A, Venture Capital, Banking, Finance & Major Projects, Global Employment and an unrivalled International practice.
Our Tax practice is the largest of any law firm in the United States and we are consistently ranked among the leading firms of the US. We represent many local Fortune 1000 corporations, as well as emerging companies looking at domestic and international expansion.
Among industry groups, the Chicago office has particularly strong relationships in the areas of financial services, pharmaceutical companies, manufacturing and technology companies. The Chicago office also maintains excellent contacts at the top local law schools, including Northwestern and University of Chicago.
In addition to maintaining superior client service standards - we consistently rank among the leading law firms based on directories, surveys and professional league tables - the Chicago office is active in the local community. We are a leader in pro bono and community service initiatives, with more than 50 percent of our lawyers and staff participating in local groups and associations. |
