Global law firm Baker McKenzie has announced that it has moved its Miami offices to 830 Brickell, a Class A-plus, 55-floor, 640,000 sq. ft. tower in Miami's Brickell Financial District. The new 18,000 square-foot space is a reflection of the Firm's high caliber talent and reinforces its deep and long-standing commitment to the Miami market. Designed with a multipurpose client event space at its centre, the office was built with collaboration, convenience, and technology in mind to meet client needs.
Baker McKenzie is one of Miami's most established and notable large law firms, having opened its doors in 1984. An integral part of the Firm, Baker McKenzie's Miami office serves as a bridge to the Firm's unmatched platform and experience as the largest global law firm in Latin America. The Miami team is distinguished for its proficiency in corporate and securities; domestic and international taxation; wealth management; investigations and business crimes; litigation and arbitration; international trade; and global immigration and mobility practice.
"Baker McKenzie foresaw Miami's potential for business growth more than 40 years ago, and it has become even more evident in recent years," said Scott Brandman, managing partner of the Miami and New York offices. "We view the opening of our new office in this new Brickell building as a testament to our exceptional team and integral to our future growth and the city's development. We are proud to be part of this dynamic community and look forward to continuing to provide comprehensive legal services."
"Miami lives up to its name as 'the Gateway to the Americas' and has evolved into a significant 'Global Gateway,' serving as a crucial hub for private credit," added William Roppolo, Head of Litigation and Government Enforcement for Baker McKenzie's Miami and New York offices. "We offer a uniquely attractive platform for clients interested in business opportunities in Latin America and other regions and who are looking for a leading law firm to provide in-market guidance and a global perspective."
As one of South Florida's top law firms, Baker McKenzie serves as a connection point between Latin America's local markets and the commercial centers of North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Since launching its Latin America Practice in 2019, the Firm has continued to grow its presence in the market. From Miami, the Firm's practitioners provide cross-market insights for clients doing business in the Americas and beyond.
