The world-class strength of Baker & McKenzie's Real Estate Practice Group has again been recognized by the Euromoney's Real Estate Awards, which canvas the opinions of international real estate advisors, developers, investment managers, corporate end-users and banks.
Baker & McKenzie has been named overall leading global firm and ranked number one for its real estate legal services in 10 countries (Colombia, Egypt, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam) and two regions (MENA and Latin America).
The Firm was also recognized in 16 further countries (Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Hungary, Japan, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, UAE, USA) and five regions (Western Europe, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, North America, Africa).
Euromoney’s 11th annual Real Estate Awards are based on peer nominations and voter participation scores that acknowledge the best providers of real estate products and services in the market over the previous 12 months.
"It's an honor to again be recognized as having the world's best real estate practice. It's testament to the hard work and talent of more than 300 of our lawyers across 47 countries, who are thoroughly deserving of this recognition," said Jose Larroque, Chair of Baker & McKenzie's Global Real Estate Practice Group.
"The past year has been a busy one for us, particularly as the real estate landscape continues to evolve and become more complex," he added. "As businesses around the world continue to maximize the efficiency of their real estate portfolios and investments, we pride ourselves on having an international team which has the expansive cross-border capabilities and experience to confidently manage clients' needs."
