Baker & McKenzie provides commercial legal services for businesses with complete online support

Baker & McKenzie has developed and instituted a number of systems and technologies which facilitate communication between the legal franchisee business’ lawyers and allows them to collaborate across time-zones. These systems also allow the commercial services business’ lawyers to connect to and access the firm’s resources, thus ensuring that there is always a link between them and the clients.

Baker & McKenzie’s lawyers have direct e-mail connectivity over dedicated lines between all offices located across 38 countries. This ensures that deliveries are not delayed and further provides the clients with significantly improved security without the possibility of information theft or tampering. The commercial services business’ systems do not function based on any central hub; all offices are able to operate independently. This prevents the risk of total system failure and all provides an alternate means of communication between offices in the case of localised problems.
