Dealytics tracks thousands of data sources daily and compiles M&A transaction data through data portals and deals submitted by network legal and financial advisory partners. The lawyer league table lists senior lawyers who have worked on an M&A transaction. The deal volume ascribed to an individual lawyer is based on the total deal value of the M&A transaction at the announcement date. The announcement date range is from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. Some M&A transactions may have been subsequently withdrawn.
