Baker McKenzie reviews

Bakers has a great international network of firms. This opens up opportunities to travel with work. Bakers has a high level of diversity. It is typical to work with people from different countries. Being someone who grew up in Sydney and working in Sydney is actually a bit of a novelty. Bakers Sydney has a very strong Environmental Markets practice, as well as a great intellectual property group.

Baker & McKenzie is a global business law firm, but it is also an incredibly pleasant place to work at. Of course the work is high profile and compensation is high, but there is definitely a connection shared by B&M employees. People are happy to work here and work/life balance is great. B&M is international. That means that it is easy to go on a secondment to another office for anywhere between 3 months (usually at trainee level) to several years. Work/life balance is incredible for a law firms. Partners actually have wives and families and think you should be able to have a personal life. Of course expectations are high, but you are given the possibility to organise your work to avoid last minute whole-nighters, and they will hire more people if needed.
