Baker & McKenzie has identified the following categories by which
client connectivity may be accomplished.

  • cc:Mail
  • Single User Connection into BakerNet
  • Internet Mail
  • Topology

    Based on BakerNet's compatibility with the variety of e-mail systems in use today, we can establish direct desktop-to-desktop communications with our clients.

    This allows us to exchange important information with our clients anytime, anywhere in a matter of minutes -- "real time" communications when it counts. Something no other firm can match.

    We call it Client Connectivity. Instant access to resources and expertise in every area of business law, in every important financial and commercial center in the world.

    Connecting to BakerNet is easy. Many of our clients have already been connected and are realizing the benefits of client connectivity:

    Right now, there are several ways to establish a connection: These options for enhancing attorney/client communications are only the beginning. We welcome new opportunities to enhance communications based on or client's needs.

    We recognise the value of direct and reliable e-mail connections with our clients, and we have developed our BakerNet communications network with that in mind.

    BakerNet uses the Lotus cc:Mail e-mail software. We chose cc:Mail because of its ability to connect to other e-mail systems and services, its marketshare leadership, ease of use and multi-platform capability.

    BakerNet enables us to establish direct desktop-to-desktop communications with many clients, providing them with a convenient, reliable and secure means of exchanging messages, documents and other file attachments with our worldwide network.

    BakerNet operates through interconnected communication hubs in North America, Europe, and Asia. This topology ensures that our overall global communications will not be affected by technical problems in any one office and that support can be provided quickly on a the regional basis.

    We also have the ability to exchange e-mail and attachment files with our clients through our Internet servers. These connections are convenient for clients who are not really able to link to our BakerNet cc: Mail system. However, Internet connections are much less secure and less reliable than BakerNet.
