Baker McKenzie

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• 'Baker & McKenzie are, in my experience, the only firm which has a deep employment law presence across most of the key jurisdictions in the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. The employment law teams at Bakers are very cooperative cross-jurisdictional. They are also very commercial and responsive in their advice.'
• 'They have broad and deep experience, are very responsive, and service-oriented.'
• 'They are experts in their field and have supported us with a number of complex cases. They are always accommodating with time, given some of the stakeholders are located in the UK. They are very knowledgeable on employment law matters, extremely professional, and considered in their approach and advice. Their work is also prompt, with little to any follow-up required.'
• 'They know our business and have established a strong rapport with the HR and legal teams. Trust is a key element of why they stand out.'
• 'Michael Michalandos is the most senior of the employment partners in Australia. He has fostered a team of strong practitioners who work well together.'
• 'Lucienne Gleeson is a strong partner with deep expertise in the IT industry.'
• 'Alecia Thompson, Special Counsel, is on the way to partner. She is both strategic and detailed at the same time, with a growing presence and reputation with clients.'
• 'Afif Haque is a lawyer working with both Lucienne Gleeson and Alecia Thompson. He is reliable, responsible, personable, and smart. He is an asset to a team which is in demand.'
