Baker McKenzie

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘Working with the class actions team at Baker McKenzie has been a rewarding experience. The culture is genuinely collaborative, with open communication and mutual respect between the partners and the junior members of the team. Juniors are encouraged to contribute meaningfully, and the partners are approachable and supportive.’

• ‘Paul Forbes and Ryan Grant are approachable, easy going and highly effective partners. They bring great commercial insight, and in the case of Ryan Grant, subject matter experience in IT and media companies. Their communication is clear, responsive and they consistently deliver excellent client service.’

• ‘The Baker's team are a group of highly specialised litigators who operate with a lean team in a very commercial and responsive manner. Their billing practices ensure that you have an accurate picture of the budget and forecasting at all times which is extremely helpful when managing the cost demands of large complex litigation.'

• 'The partners are approachable, great communicators with specialist knowledge that is market leading in some instances.’

• ‘I work with Paul Forbes and Ryan Grant. I have found them to be highly engaged, responsive and conscious of costs. They have developed the class action practice with excellent entrepreneurial skills and considering carefully what both a plaintiff funder needs as well as ensuring that clients on the receiving end of a class action are well represented.'

• 'I like that they act as both plaintiff and defendant in class actions because it makes them more aware of strategy.’
