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?

As a founding member of the Net Zero Lawyers Alliance (NZLA), we believe in the power of collective action and the key role lawyers play in the transition to #netzero. As part of #NYClimateWeek, we co-hosted this event and explored the risks and opportunities climate change poses to law firms and their clients, how the practice of law is evolving to respond to the challenges of climate change and how lawyers can work together – including through organizations like the NZLA – to achieve transformational change on a broader scale 👇
🌍 Exploring climate-related risks and opportunities with legal experts 🌍 During #NYClimateWeek, we collaborated with Baker McKenzie to host an insightful session on how climate change and the transition to net zero are reshaping the legal landscape. This was an opportunity to bring together expert speakers, who shared invaluable perspectives on the unique role that commercial lawyers play in guiding their clients through the challenges and opportunities of the transition. Our speakers also provided practical examples of how climate change is impacting their work and how they’re actively enabling the move towards a more sustainable future. ⚖️ Some key topics discussed by the panel included: 👉 How climate change is shaping the development of commercial law and equipping practitioners with the knowledge to provide more informed advice to their clients. 👉 How the transition is unlocking opportunities for clients and mitigating risks in contracts, supply chain agreements, climate compliance programmes and more. For those wanting to dive deeper into the U.S. climate landscape, check out the US Climate Atlas. Developed with the Centre for Climate Engagement, this resource explores how climate change is impacting different areas of law and is a critical tool for lawyers across multiple practice areas. A huge thank you to Baker McKenzie for co-hosting this event and to our amazing panellists, Alyssa Auberger, Renata Amaral, David Hackett and Anna-Marie Slot, JD for their thoughtful contributions! It was a fantastic discussion! 🙌 #ClimateAction #LegalInnovation #Sustainability #NetZero
