Baker & McKenzie announced today that Laurie R. Robertson has been named its Global Director of Business Development & Marketing, a new position which combines the two global functions at the Firm. For the last decade, Robertson has served in various global business development and marketing roles with Clifford Chance in London. Since 2007, he has been that firm’s Global Head of Business Development. Before joining the legal industry, Robertson held senior positions in the London, Tokyo and Toronto offices of J. Walter Thompson. Robertson has an MA in Jurisprudence from University College at Oxford and has also attended management courses at INSEAD and Harvard Business School. He will start in early May 2010 and will be based in New York. Baker & McKenzie Firm Chairman, John Conroy, said: “Laurie Robertson has the background and gravitas to help lead and implement the comprehensive innovations that we are making to our client service model and brand performance around the world. At a time when client satisfaction and market differentiation are increasingly critical success factors in the rapidly changing legal market, Laurie’s skills, experience and leadership will strengthen our offering and our BD and marketing efforts.” Baker & McKenzie has more than 150 business development and marketing staff worldwide, supporting the Firm's client relationships and service delivery.
