Arthur Cox has topped Mergermarket’s league table of Irish M&A legal advisers by both deal value and volume for 2019. The firm advised on 34 transactions valued at over US$107billion.

Commenting on the rankings, Cian McCourt, Partner and Head of Corporate and M&A Group at Arthur Cox, said: “The ranking is a strong endorsement of the firm’s reputation as Ireland’s leading M&A legal adviser. Mergers and acquisitions are at the core of our practice and we advise on the most innovative and transformative Irish and cross-border deals for our clients”.

The firm was also awarded M&A Legal Adviser of the Year for Ireland 2019 by Mergermarket last December. The awards recognise excellence in corporate, private equity, banking and legal M&A expertise across a number of European jurisdictions.
