Our USA Corporate / M&A practice advises our clients on a wide range of acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, spin-offs and other corporate transactions. We are an acknowledged leader with respect to cross-border transactions, which has historically been a principal focus of our group and our Firm as a whole. For nearly 70 years, we have been guiding clients on both the buy-side and sell-side of complex multi-jurisdictional transactions, and over the past decade, we have successfully completed more cross-border transactions than any other law firm in the world. We are one of the few law firms capable of providing a specialized, inception-through-integration approach, through which we guide clients from strategy and structuring to a coordinated closing across multiple jurisdictions. We serve as a “one stop shop” for our multinational clients on all types of M&A, joint ventures, reorganizations, and other transactions. Not only do we offer a unique combination of local expertise with an experienced team of global deal lawyers, but we are fully integrated and also truly know one another—the key to a successful, seamless multi-jurisdictional transaction. As a result of our long history of working as a truly global team, we have invested in and refined our precedents and processes to drive efficiencies and provide the highest quality standards and deal practices, enabling us to execute deals with greater precision than our competitors.
Chambers Review
Baker McKenzie offers one of the most expansive and established international footprints in the legal industry and its global reach is frequently referenced by multinational clients as one of its primary assets. The New York office acts as an important hub of lawyers with international experience and expertise across multiple areas, offering a full-service scope. The firm enjoys an excellent reputation for its international and cross-border capabilities and is often praised for the smooth execution and collaboration clients experience across the firm's network.
The firm's roots in the USA incorporate strong experience advising on M&A transactions emanating from and involving the US market. Spread across numerous global jurisdictions, the firm is an obvious choice for multi-jurisdictional transactions and can offer a full suite of services related to M&A deals, including tax, employment, due diligence and competition law. The US M&A team frequently collaborates with the firm's extensive internal network, which has an enormous capacity to match up to the international operations of global companies and investors and proves an attractive proposition for US-headquartered entities and foreign organisations in a mix of inbound and outbound cross-border work.
