Baker McKenzie

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• Good at ad hoc structures and very good as a sounding board.
• B&M has an excellent HY team with in-depth and varied experience in the field. The team is client-centric, offers solution-oriented services, and is a great team to work with. It is always a pleasure to interact and work with them. I highly recommend the HY team as a top HY practice.
• Relative to peers, the practice is notably solutions-driven. Rather than defaulting to conservative positions, the team engages constructively with clients to find workable structures that align legal risk with commercial reality. This makes a meaningful difference on challenging transactions or where execution certainty is critical. The team has also shown thought leadership and has great expertise in HY transactions in emerging market jurisdictions.
• The individuals are highly engaged and display strong commercial intuition. Partners are accessible and hands-on, particularly at key negotiation points, and have a good sense of how far market terms can be pushed without compromising execution. Associates are a particular strength of the practice – they are proactive, thoughtful, and capable of anticipating issues before they crystallize. The team also works very collaboratively with clients’ in-house teams, which creates a sense of partnership rather than a traditional adviser relationship. Shout-out to Fani Chlampoutaki for delivering consistently excellent client service on every transaction she's involved in.
