In US, they are probably on par with DLA Piper, K&L Gates. Remember they started off as a Chicago firm, not a NY firm so there's a historical prestige disadvantage. Check out the Vault 100, they are ranked no. 31.
In London, they are probably less prestigious than the silver circle (Herbert Smith, Ashurst) or Hogan Lovells.
In SG, Baker is seen as quite prestigious.

Agreed generally regarding the US and UK markets. For Singapore, it is department dependent. Litigation and arbitration in Baker is probably like a third tier, similar to non-disputes focused mid sized firms like Shook Lin. Tax, IP in baker probably one of the best, on par if not better than big 4. Corporate in baker, maybe same as TSMP and the likes.
