  • ‘The Baker McKenzie team is at its best in large and complex cross-border deal. On those deals things work quite seamlessly in between countries and specialists involved. The team comes across as diverse and client-friendly. Firm has an impressive carve-out team.’

  • ‘I work mostly with David Malliband and really like him as a lead partner. Completely dedicated and invested in getting to know me/us as a client. David in particular is good at challenging me - which is needed every now and then - but also extremely supportive of me in my role.’

  • ‘While working to protect the client they were also realistic about what we could reasonably negotiate from the buyer which made the process more efficient. Additionally, they kept explanations and documents to plain English, given the lack of prior M&A experience of our shareholders and Board.’

  • ‘Strong focus on responsiveness and availability. International reach coupled with ability to project manage/centralize from the US is very helpful for bridging gaps on cross-border deals.’

  • ‘Hard-working and solution-oriented team with practical insights.

  • ‘Airi Hammalov: committed person with a steady hand and excellent negotiation skills.'
