Sam Appleton Senior Associate

Baker & McKenzie has always provided me a friendly and supportive work environment. I have been able to develop a legal practice and grow professionally unhindered by concerns that I cannot be myself. Diversity and inclusion is not only on the agenda but is embraced, fostered and understood. This year the firm was delighted to be the principal sponsor of Out for Australia and assisted the organisation expand its mentoring program for aspiring LGBTI professionals across Australia.
