Global disputes are becoming more frequent, complex and costly as corporations and financial institutions face heightened operating risks — from evolving ESG expectations and supply chain challenges to increasing cybersecurity risks and regulatory enforcement. Against that backdrop, our global Dispute Resolution team comprises battle-tested litigators with deep roots in their home jurisdictions—drawing on the wisdom gained from local training, contacts and cultural understanding to drive our clients' litigation strategies. With 1,000+ disputes lawyers globally, we have more locally trained litigators in more jurisdictions than any other firm.
Our integrated approach and deep technical expertise are key to providing the right strategy. We also draw on extensive experience in key industry sectors, including consumer goods and retail; energy, mining and infrastructure; financial institutions; healthcare and life sciences; industrials, manufacturing and transportation; and technology, media and telecommunications.
At Baker McKenzie, we pride ourselves on our holistic approach—guiding clients through the entire lifecycle of a transaction, project or product. We serve as operational risk managers and experts in dispute avoidance strategies, and we act decisively on litigation, arbitration proceedings and investigations if they arise. As trusted advisers to our clients, our priority is always to ensure that their commercial objectives are met, no matter the circumstances.
