Wendy Bernero, a veteran marketing executive who has worked at a handful of Am Law 100 firms, is heading back into the Big Law fray as she prepares to become head of client development for North America at Baker McKenzie, the global legal giant confirmed Tuesday.

“For me this was an opportunity that I just couldn’t turn down,” Bernero said. “It’s an amazing global firm with a very strong brand and the firm is really dedicated to serving clients at the highest levels and developing new and innovative legal solutions that clients will value and appreciate.”
