In the final part of our #DestinationBakerMcKenzie series, Partners John McKenzie and Alexandra R. T. Daniels, Esq. share a taxi ride around Chicago, where Baker McKenzie's story first began. Alexandra shares her perspective on how the firm has created space for people who might otherwise have felt excluded from the legal industry – while John reflects that this is precisely the legacy that his father and Russell Baker set out to achieve. From London to Buenos Aires and Hong Kong, our #DestinationBakerMcKenzie series has taken us around the world to celebrate 75 years of the firm. Missed a stop?

A Baker McKenzie team - made up of Rachel Slade, Jason Souris, Anaïs Itani, Emma Chandler, Emma Rehal-Wilde, Paige Meek, Priya Shah, Madeline Macnamara and Zubin Kanji - recently abseiled off the 17th floor of London's Air Ambulance Charity’s base, the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, raising over £13,300. London's Air Ambulance Charity delivers an advanced trauma team to #London’s most seriously injured patients. By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, the charity aims to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma. The impressive funds raised will be used to keep the charity’s helicopters running and rapid response cars on the road. Congratulations to all!
