M&A league tables for the first half of 2015 compiled by Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters show Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom leading the pack among legal advisers, while several other Am Law 100 firms prepare to fete the Fourth of July with some insurance-related transactional work.
As previously noted by The Am Law Daily, different metrics used to tally deals lead to ranking discrepancies for tables put out by Reuters, Bloomberg and others. Mergermarket's league table rankings for the first half of 2015 are not yet available.
Both tables note that Skadden worked on more than $400 billion worth of announced deals between Jan. 1 and June 30 of this year. Davis Polk & Wardwell and Sullivan & Cromwell round out the top three spots on Bloomberg's rankings, respectively, while Cravath, Swaine & Moore placed second and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz third in tables published by Reuters.
