Baker & McKenzie announced Wednesday that it will make Casablanca the site of its 71st office, and its third in Africa, becoming the latest global firm to launch what it expects to be “a beautiful friendship” between itself and the Moroccan metropolis.
“We can now offer clients market-leading Africa expertise both in global financial centers and locally on the ground in key African regions,” says Koen Vanhaerents, chairman of the firm’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) practice. Baker already has offices in Cairo and Johannesburg.
