Drawing on its considerable global footprint, Baker McKenzie regularly advises on a range of upper mid-market and high-cap transactions for PE firms and portfolio companies across the healthcare, TMT, infrastructure, and financial services sectors, among others. The team is led by David Allen, an 'extremely impressive' partner whose recent engagements include multi-jurisdictional acquisitions and disposals. Allen often works in conjunction with Alex Lewis, who draws similarly high praise for his 'commercial' and 'effective' transactional practice. Global private equity chair Karen Guch continues to work with market-leading sponsors on both buy and sell-side mandates, while Justin Hutchinson is particularly noted for his capabilities in cross-border work.
