Baker McKenzie is one of the first law firms to have adopted a functional outsourcing operation, which is now being emulated by other firms. Its offshore operations in Manila, which include marketing, business research, and IT and computer maintenance support, was profiled, in January 2006, by "BusinessWeek" magazine. The shared services center marked its 15th anniversary in the country by investing in a new hub in Bonifacio Global City. In August 2014, the firm opened its second global services center in Belfast. A further investment by Baker McKenzie into Belfast was announced in July 2018. Announcements followed later the same year about a third center in Tampa, Florida and a fourth in Buenos Aires in 2019.
