Warsaw, September 22, 2008 – Baker & McKenzie topped the list of leading law firms in Poland, published by Gazeta Prawna magazine. This is the fifth survey released by the magazine. 

Baker & McKenzie was cited for its revenues and number of lawyers, which contributed to its high ranking. The citation is also the first time a Polish ranking of law firms took into account factors such as the number of junior lawyers employed by the Firm and the number of publications it released.

The ranking adds to the nomination of the Firm as International Law Firm of the Year in the PLC Which lawyer? Awards.

Marek Rosiński, managing partner of Baker & McKenzie, Poland, said, "Clients recognize us for creativity and pragmatism and the fact that we combine benefits of a global law firm with a strong legal practice in Poland. This combination enables us to set up teams of lawyers with optimum experience that are able to guide our clients through intricacies and complexities of many areas of law in many jurisdictions, regardless of where they choose to do their business.”
