Baker McKenzie once again topped legal market research company Acritas’ latest ranking of global legal brands, and the firm has managed to grow its lead.

In the Acritas 2020 Global Elite Brand Index, the firm widened its margin over its two closest competitors, DLA Piper and Clifford Chance, from the last iteration of the rankings, released in October 2018. The two runners-up exchanged positions since then, with DLA Piper jumping ahead of Clifford Chance, but the distance between them and Baker McKenzie has only widened.

“Market disruption is an accepted reality for business, as new competition and technologies drive the pace of change faster than ever before,” Baker McKenzie global chair Milton Cheng said in a statement. “Our clients want lawyers who are prepared to lead, differentiate and adapt in a constantly changing world. We are unquestionably the leading cross-border law firm that large, global clients trust for complex transactional and other matters involving multiple jurisdictions.”
