Top advisers by value and volume

According to GlobalData’s ‘Global and Metals & Mining M&A Report Legal Adviser League Tables Q1-Q3 2022’, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison (Paul Weiss) and Fasken Martineau DuMoulin (Fasken) emerged as the top M&A legal advisers in the metals & mining sector in Q1-Q3 2022 by deal value and volume, respectively.

Paul Weiss advised on $9.8bn worth of deals while Fasken advised on a total of 15 deals.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “As well as coming top of the chart when it comes to total deals advised, Fasken also performed well on the deal value ranking. Of its total 15 deals, six were valued at more than $100m, one of which was valued at more than $5bn. As a result, Fasken managed to occupy the second position by value. However, it still had some way to go in comparison with Paul Weiss, which had a total deal value just shy of the $10bn mark.”

According to the financial deals database of GlobalData, the other high rankers by value included Cassels Brock & Blackwell took the third position with $8.4bn worth of deals; followed by Linklaters with $6.7bn; and Webber Wentzel with $6.7bn.
