Baker & McKenzie further expands corporate/M&A practice in Johannesburg
Company Announcement - In January 2016, Karen Roets joins leading global law firm, Baker & McKenzie in their Johannesburg office. Karen has extensive experience in advising on all aspects of mining law and focuses on all corporate as well as business development and operations related activities, including corporate restructuring, drafting, negotiating and regulatory advisory. She is also experienced in employment and intellectual property related matters.
Karen joins the firm's corporate/M&A team after spending the past six years working as in-house legal counsel for leading multinational mining company, Anglo American. This move will allow the firm to grow its known multidisciplinary, multijurisdictional capabilities by expanding its mining law offering to clients.
Morné van der Merwe, partner at Baker & McKenzie South Africa, expressed his delight in the appointment: "Karen is a highly regarded legal counsel whose experience makes her an ideal addition to the firm and a great benefit to our local and multi-national client base. I'm thrilled to welcome her to Baker & McKenzie."
In additional to Karen's appointment, the firm continues to expand with the recent hire of David Davies, an expert in the nuclear energy sector, who joined the firm from Eskom, and Johan Botes and his team who launched the firm's employment law practice in November 2015.
