Baker McKenzie Advises RPMGlobal, a Global Leader in Mining Software, on its AUD 1.123 Billion Acquisition by Caterpillar
Firm advised RPMGlobal Holdings Limited on its acquisition by Caterpillar Inc.

View Career Opportunities in Australia
Whether you are a seasoned professional or starting your career journey, we offer global firm opportunity with local firm affinity.

[H2] Overview

More than 60 years ago, Baker McKenzie made history by becoming the first global law firm to open its doors in the Australian market. At a time when international law firms had yet to establish a presence in the region, Baker McKenzie recognised Australia's strategic importance and the value of connecting local insight with global capability.

Today, that pioneering spirit continues to define the Firm. Baker McKenzie operates as one team, seamlessly integrating deep local expertise with unparalleled global reach. Whether it's advising on complex cross-border transactions, navigating regulatory landscapes, or managing high-stakes disputes, Baker McKenzie brings a collaborative, strategic and forward-thinking client-first approach, helping our clients to mitigate risk, unlock opportunity, and move their businesses forward.
Our team has a proven track record of guiding clients through complex and often market-defining matters across industry sectors, including energy, healthcare, cyber, data and technology.
Recent work highlights for the Firm include acting for:
Macquarie Asset Management and PSP Investments on the AUD 24 billion sale of AirTrunk — the largest data centre deal globally and the second-largest private acquisition in Australian history
Hysata on its landmark Series B fundraising, one of the largest capital raisings by a clean-tech company in Australia to date
ACCC in obtaining a penalty of AUD 100 million against Qantas for misleading consumers by offering and selling tickets for flights it had already decided to cancel
WiseTech Global in its AUD 4.7 billion debt financing to secure purchase of US software firm e2open
Orora on the AUD 1.2 billion sale of its North America Packaging Solutions (OPS) business to Veritiv
We bring world-class legal expertise and insight across both traditional practice areas — such as corporate, mergers and acquisitions, tax, finance, dispute resolution, projects, insolvency and restructuring, employment and real estate — to more evolving areas such as digital transformation, cyber risk, artificial intelligence, fintech, ESG and energy transition.
At the heart of our success is also our people. At Baker McKenzie, our people are globally connected and socially engaged. We foster an environment that is diverse, inclusive, and flexible, where every individual is supported to reach their full potential. We are committed to creating a space where our people feel valued, respected, and empowered. Since 2010, we have proudly held the Employer of Choice for Gender Equality citation from the Federal Workplace Gender Equality Agency, a reflection of our ongoing dedication to equity, opportunity, and progress.

Our Australian offices combine local experience with international reach, and deep practice expertise with industry knowledge.

Corporate Social Responsibility in the Australian offices comprises two distinct areas: the pro bono legal services provided by our lawyers and community service activities everyone is encouraged to participate in.

[H4] Pro Bono
We believe that providing pro bono legal services is a fundamental professional responsibility. As lawyers, we have specific skills and the best way to assist those in need is to utilise those skills.
Underscoring our commitment, all our lawyers are expected to work on pro bono matters and we have a dedicated pro bono practice group. We are a signatory to the National Pro Bono Target of at least 35 hours of pro bono legal work per lawyer per year and have our own Australian office target of at least 50 pro bono hours per lawyer per year.
In FY24, we contributed more than 9,572 pro bono hours to individual members of our community, charities and other not-for-profit organisations, equating to an average of 35.4 pro bono hours per lawyer.
The nature of our work is vast and varied. Our work covers many areas, including youth, poverty, health, the environment; domestic violence; the elderly, asylum seekers and refugees, people with disabilities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, human trafficking and modern slavery; LGBTI issues; and much more.
Our pro bono work extends globally, including the Asia Pacific region.
[IMG: pro bono mark]
[H4] Community Service
Our people have the opportunity to make a contribution in the community by participating in a variety of community engagement initiatives which are structured under the pillars of:
Charity Partnerships
There are many opportunities to support our nominated Charity Partners. We are currently supporting ID. Know Yourself (First Nations mentoring organisation for kids in out-of-home care), Project Etico (social enterprise hotel - disability training, employment and independent living) and RACS (Refugee Advice & Casework Service).
Volunteering Programs
Some volunteering initiatives include the Gawura Morning Reading Program (focused on improved literacy skills for First Nations children), Eat Up sessions (to provide lunch to kids that would otherwise go hungry leading to improved health, learning and social outcomes) and The Alfresco Community Kitchen sessions (a meal service for people in-need).
Workplace Giving
Through our Workplace Giving Program everyone is encouraged to donate to causes they feel are important and contribute to appeals the firm organises to raise funds or in-kind donations.

Importantly, we want people who thrive in diverse teams where friendship is valued.

We are different from other law firms in the way we think, work and behave. Global in our outlook and curious by nature, we are often the first to recognize changes in the market and respond with new and better ways to serve clients.
Today the global business community is more interconnected than ever before, and clients need us to work across traditional practice, sector and market lines to mitigate risk and maximize opportunity. Our integrated solutions, underpinned by deep expertise and innovative technology, represent a new frontier for legal advice. We know the value of our people in sustaining this success and so we're committed to offering the platform to nurture this talent.

[H2] Global Opportunities

[IMG: explore climbing]

Overseas relationships are the building blocks of our global business and the seamless way in which we work with clients. We will support your career aspirations by offering access to formal mobility programs where possible. These programs give you the chance to travel to other countries, engage with global clients, and develop your networks.
Most formal programs are designed for our lawyers, but we have many examples of Business Services employees who have carved out a career in multiple jurisdictions with the Firm.

We award International Clerkships to law students and recent graduates interested in exploring a career in law. Recipients typically work with lawyers from two different countries over a 12-week period.
The program offers you the chance to compare legal practice in two distinctive legal jurisdictions, become familiar with a legal culture different from your own and see our international practice from the inside.
An International Clerkship is only available if you wish to apply for a permanent work contract. Clerks are selected on the basis of their legal ability, interest in pursuing an international practice and their ability to speak English, as well as the working languages of the locations where they will work (if other than English).
Candidates typically need at least two years' formal legal training prior to their clerkship. Candidates in the US may qualify if they have completed two years in an ABA-approved law school JD curriculum by the time their clerkship  is set to finish. Each clerkship comes with an attractive salary and travel expenses.
Candidates interested in this opportunity need to complete a letter of application, include a full CV (including university exam results), two letters of reference from law professors or other appropriate persons qualified to evaluate your work, and a detailed statement of the educational value to you of an International Clerkship

Every year we provide a number of scholarships to our associates for full-time graduate legal study outside their home jurisdictions, usually in a college or university near one of our offices. These prestigious awards are open to individuals who have been with us for at least two years and the program of study must include the completion of a graduate law degree (LLM, MCL, or similar degree). Each scholarship is awarded for a minimum of 12 months of study.

The Associate Training Program (ATP) is our flagship mobility program, having been established over 30 years ago. Hundreds of associates have participated in this program to date.
The ATP provides our associates with an excellent opportunity for development through active participation in the daily working life of the host office and being exposed to a wide range of clients and matters to enhance their on-the-job learning. ATP participants will also benefit from all the training and development opportunities offered by their hosts and we actively encourage them, wherever possible, to take LL.M courses, external Executive Education programs or similar programs available in the host jurisdiction.
The program is open to associates who have been with us for at least two years and choice of location may be influenced by - but will not be dependent upon - an associate's interest in a country, ability to speak another language, the business need of one of our clients or the need of one of our practice groups.
