Paul Rawlinson, Global Chair of Baker McKenzie, said:

“Congratulations to all of our new Partners – and welcome to the Firm. In a recent voluntary engagement survey of our 13,000 people worldwide, we scored highly on: pride in our Firm, our commitment to client-service and the Firm’s commitment to D&I. This year’s partner promotions shows that this is getting results: 40% of our new partners globally are women and 40% of our new full equity partners are women.

We have a long way to go but I wanted to mark this achievement and the commitment of our people to being a truly diverse Firm”.
