Overview

Baker McKenzie is a global law firm with tax capabilities in 77 offices across 46 jurisdictions, with an office in London to service the UK market. The London office offers a combination of international tax services that would traditionally have been divided between accounting and law firms. The London office also plays host to various leaders for the firm’s tax and transfer pricing practice, such as Alex Chadwick who is the firm’s Chair of the EMEA Region for international tax planning and corporate tax, Mark Delaney who is the firm’s co-head of the EMEA Tax Group and specialises in Indirect Tax issues, Jukka Karjalainen the co-head of the London office Transfer Pricing Group and chair of the firm’s European Transfer Pricing Group, and Jess Eden the head of the London Tax Group and Tax Disputes Group 

During the research cycle Baker McKenzie advised global brewer, Carlsberg, on complex tax matters associated with the public £3.3bn acquisition of Britvic plc. The firm also provided tax advice to Silver Laker Partners on the carve-out and divestment of Alfabet software to Main Capital. 

Mark Agnew retired in January 2025.
