Baker McKenzie has made a lateral hire from fellow global firm Clifford Chance, scooping a partner for its corporate group.
Bakers has hired Lance Sacks, a corporate partner at Clifford Chance, for its Sydney office, commencing on 1 May 2020.
Speaking about the appointment, Bakers national managing partner Anthony Foley said that Mr Sacks has an “impressive background” on both domestic and cross-border matters.
“He has long been known to us as a leader in his field and we look forward to welcoming him to our growing corporate practice,” he said.
Bakers head of corporate in Australia, Ben McLaughlin, added: “We are seeing an increasing number of client mandates for our corporate group in Sydney, evidenced by our work on a number of market leading transactions. Lance’s arrival comes at an exciting time for our firm.”
Mr Sacks commented: “I have long observed the firm’s point of difference being a leading corporate firm with an unmatched cross-border capability having a reach of 78 locations worldwide, including the world’s largest financial centres and key emerging markets, so knowing I can service my clients’ needs wherever a transaction is executed was compelling along with the quality of lawyers in the corporate team nationally.”
