\"bm\"<\/p>\n

In business since 1949, Baker & McKenzie is right at home in a shrinking world: since its very inception, the company thinks, acts, and works on a global scale. With a fee-generated revenue in excess of $2.5bn in 2014, Baker & McKenzie maintains a presence in 47 countries. The firm employs over 11,000 people in its 77 offices from which it serves \u2013 with notable distinction \u2013 more than 500 corporate clients who represent some of the world\u2019s largest companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baker & McKenzie is an industry partner to the World Economic Forum (WEF). Earlier this year, the company\u2019s chairperson, Eduardo Leite, co-chaired the 10th<\/sup> regional WEF conference in Latin America.<\/p>\n

In Bahrain, Baker & McKenzie ranks at the very top in several industry sectors and is widely recognised as an expert on Islamic finance. The CFI.co judging panel wholeheartedly agrees that the firm\u2019s Islamic finance team stands out from the competition and has continued to power ahead convincingly since receiving an earlier award from CFI.co.<\/p>\n

For the past thirty years, Baker & McKenzie has been a key player in the Middle East. The firm has been present in Bahrain since 1998. The company\u2019s deep knowledge and understanding of the region remains unequalled. This breadth of experience coupled to the readily deployable \u2013 and massive \u2013 resources and its global footprint, make the Baker & McKenzie team the one to watch for clues and cues. Over the years, the firm has been involved in many hallmark Islamic finance projects. The training and expertise of its lawyers has proved absolutely superb.<\/p>\n

The CFI.co judging panel is delighted to confirm, yet again, the leadership position of the Baker & McKenzie team and declares the firm winner of the 2015 Best Islamic Finance Team Bahrain Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
