International & Cross-Border Transactions (International Firms)

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. Its China practice comprises a skilled team of lawyers with international and local experience based across Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. The offering is bolstered by its joint operation with PRC firm FenXun. Utilising its impressively vast regional and global office network, the firm is well equipped to handle multi-jurisdictional matters.

Baker McKenzie is an active presence in the transactional space, boasting considerable experience in outbound lending work for PRC clients, notably on real estate and energy-related matters, as well as handling leveraged finance for major PRC banks and international financial institutions. Its transactional offering also includes a strong competition practice, with a focus on compliance, audits and merger control. Further strength across the M&A and dispute resolution spheres frequently sees the firm representing companies in cross-border matters from the PRC and Hong Kong.

The firm is a growing presence in the disputes arena, with a strengthening litigation practice. Team members are adept at anti-corruption investigations and a broad range of international trade mandates.
