‘In my view Baker McKenzie is one of the more forward thinking law firms and definitely the most global. The firm helps clients overcome the challenges of competing in the global economy through a new type of thinking and a different mindset. Lawyers in the firm are extremely professional experts with superb subject knowledge. They deal with the client and transaction with a pragmatic approach, with an intent to successfully close the deal without any failure. They understand the importance of the deal and its value to the client. Their strength is their ability to solve complex legal problems by collaborating across borders and practice areas, using transformative technology, and dealing with people with empathy.'
‘Ash Tiwari is a phenomenal lawyer with deep expertise in corporate M&A law, in conjunction with deep knowledge in taxation and technology. She and her team provided advice throughout the entire process, from the start of negotiations to the completion of the transaction. Both her negotiation skills and expertise were a great asset to the progress and outcome of the transaction. Moreover she is very reliable and responds to queries and emails in a timely manner and assists with various queries and concerns with the utmost precision.
