Baker McKenzie Miami Office
Baker McKenzie, a leading global law firm, has officially opened its new office at 830 Brickell in Miami on March 6, 2025. Spanning 18,000 square feet in a modern Class-A office tower, the new location signifies the firm’s growth and commitment to the South Florida legal market. With a team of 45 lawyers specializing in various practices, Baker McKenzie is set to enhance Miami’s business landscape, joining other high-profile tenants in the thriving financial district.
Miami is buzzing with excitement as Baker McKenzie, a prominent global law firm, officially opened its doors to a shiny new office on March 6, 2025. Nestled within the upscale 830 Brickell, a swanky Class-A office tower located in the heart of Miami’s bustling Financial District, this new space is not just any office – it boasts a whopping 18,000 square feet of modern work environment waiting to be filled with legal expertise!
The firm’s new home takes up Suite 3100 in the stunning 830 Brickell building, which stands tall at approximately 55 stories and was developed by the renowned OKO Group and Cain International. The building, which had its grand opening for tenants in October 2022, is making waves as the first major tower in Brickell constructed since 2010. With rental prices that can soar to $190 per square foot, it’s no surprise that high-profile tenants, including Microsoft and Santander Bank, have also chosen this prime location!
Baker McKenzie’s decision to secure this new space, which was finalized back in August 2022, reflects the firm’s growth trajectory and the overall development of Miami as a thriving business hub. The office will host a talented team of 45 lawyers and business professionals, all specializing in a diverse array of practices. From corporate law to domestic and international taxation, and from litigation and arbitration to international trade, Baker McKenzie is set to deepen its roots in the South Florida legal scene.
The new Miami office is a continuation of Baker McKenzie’s legacy in the area, with its roots tracing back to 1984. Over the years, the Miami branch has been instrumental in guiding clients, particularly through its dedicated Latin America Practice section. Prior to settling in at 830 Brickell, the firm operated from its previous office at 1111 Brickell Ave, making this move a significant step forward.
As 830 Brickell becomes home to major firms and businesses, it’s creating a vibrant community in the financial district. It’s also worth noting that other prestigious law firms, such as Kirkland & Ellis and Sidley Austin, have made the leap to this modern tower, enhancing the legal landscape of the area.
Interestingly, that’s not all happening at 830 Brickell! Billionaire Ken Griffin is making headlines by planning to establish the headquarters for his financial firms, Citadel and Citadel Securities, in this very building. His firms are set to take up a staggering 130,000 square feet, while acting as temporary offices during the construction of a future complex at 1201 Brickell. Talk about a busy place!
Interestingly, Baker McKenzie’s move to 830 Brickell signifies a broader trend of firms relocating to modern spaces as they adapt to the changing business landscape. While some, like Chicago-based Winston & Strawn LLP, chose to stay put in the Southeast Financial Center due to delays, Baker McKenzie is boldly embracing a new chapter that promises growth and innovation.
As Baker McKenzie gears up in its new flagship office, Miami’s legal scene is illuminating with possibilities. The dynamic mix of law and finance in this vibrant city is only expected to thrive further with the addition of such esteemed firms. Keep an eye on this space – the excitement in the air is just beginning!
