A global law firm founded in 1949. Baker & McKenzie advises many of the world’s most dynamic and successful business organizations through more than 4,000 locally qualified lawyers in 71 offices in 44 countries. The Firm also has a strong and robust pro bono tradition.

Baker & McKenzie partnered with the Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth on a number of pro bono projects, including the production of an amicus brief before the US Supreme Court that presented a unique collection of testimonial accounts by victims’ families for the Jackson v. Hobbs and Miller v. Alabama cases. The Firm also took the lead researching cases and developing profiles of youth serving life in prison without the possibility of parole in the federal prison system for crimes they committed under the age of 18.

In addition to supporting our substantive work, Baker & McKenzie lawyers provided countless pro bono hours to assist in the formation and governance of our organization, providing legal assistance in order to establish the Campaign as an independent 501-c (3) organization.

Angela Vigil, Director of the Firm’s Pro Bono and Community Service practice, is a champion for our cause and has been an invaluable resource over the past year. The entire team at Baker & McKenzie has been remarkable, with special thanks to leads Karen Sewell, Angela Walitt, Miriam Geraghty and Alison Wright.
