Baker McKenzie’s South Africa practice in Johannesburg is part of the Baker McKenzie global network of 74 offices spread across 45 countries and offers a full-service legal practice. Our lawyers offer deep knowledge of South Africa's local markets and the cultural and social customs across this diverse and vibrant country. Deeply integrated in our international Africa Practice, we have worked on significant projects in more than 40 African countries providing domestic and cross-border African and international legal advice on a range of top-ranked legal areas.

Working alongside lawyers from across the Baker McKenzie network, our team advises governments, domestic and multinational companies, project sponsors, banks and other financial institutions on a wide range of legal issues and can deliver practical, innovative solutions that meet your legal and business needs.

Our broad client base distinguishes us from other firms operating in South Africa and our work is often high-end and highly specialised. Not only do we continue to advise prominent Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed clients, but our client base also includes large multinational clients expanding their businesses in Africa.

Johannesburg is part of the world's largest M&A practice, where Baker McKenzie's 1,300 lawyers execute more cross-border transactions than any other law firm, gaining the experience and expertise critical to helping clients mitigate risk and achieve their goals. For more than a decade, we have ranked number one for M&A in emerging markets by deal volume. Nearly every day we close a deal somewhere in the world, and the way we approach transactions demonstrates our experience.
