[Country Business Reports interviews and articles by Discovery Reports www.discoveryreports.com]

Home to many of the world’s cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As), Europe plays a key role in easing international trade and global economic growth. According to a report published by Baker McKenzie and Oxford Economics, M&A activity in the region even outperformed the United States and Asia-Pacific last year.

France is central to sustaining Europe’s M&A activity as an attractive foreign investment hub – thanks to its stable post-Brexit economy under a new leadership, the growing availability of skilled labour and a favourable geographical position bridging northern and southern Europe.

Working with major industry players in some of the world’s most important business deals and cases, Baker McKenzie shares an unparalleled expertise in all matters concerning French and international law across borders, markets and industries.

The multiawarded firm has been consistently ranked No 1 by Thomson Reuters over the past eight years for the volume of its cross-border deals. With revenues totalling US$2.67 billion in 2016 spread across Asia-Pacific (26 per cent); Europe, Middle East and Africa (37 per cent); and the Americas (37 per cent), Baker McKenzie is the most diverse global law firm.

“In this uncertain world, we bring quality, certainty and commerciality to make sure our clients achieve their goals,” says Arnaud Cabanes, managing partner of Baker McKenzie’s Paris office. “We offer the highest quality of services to all our clients internationally – enabling us to grow our revenues by 50 per cent over the past 10 years.”
