Legal Advisor of the Year (Transactions)

This award is open to M&A advisory firms that have advised on transactions involving the European private equity market within the qualifying period of July 2025 to June 2026. Submissions for this category will be led by Mergermarket’s League Tables data. We will be inviting the top advisors, based on our criteria, to reconcile their data; however, we will not award solely based on the biggest and highest deal flow. Invited applicants should expect to provide one case study on how they have provided innovative advice to a client.
