I’d put Kirkland, Goodwin, ropes and latham at the top of list based on number of deals and deal values. Plus it’s always one of those firms opposite me lately unless it’s a tech deal
Goodwin here - we do a ton of M&A (and ranked highly in total value and deal count) but I think we tend to do more middle-market deals which aggregately add up to a high total deal value metric and but not a huge number of mega-deals.

There’s a ranking for $value deals as well as deal count.
P1: good point. OP, the article pulls from Refinitiv, so you can see the ranking by each metric there.
Do you mean like doing public/strategic mega deals? There are fewer shops good at that then I thought and only a handful get megadeals across many industries (vs. doing occasional big deals in tech or life sciences, for example)
