Ogier ranked tenth across European law firms on MandA deal value

Ogier has maintained its position as the top offshore European M&A firm after advising on deals worth $95 billion so far in 2018.

The firm maintained its tenth position in European M&A rankings by value amongst onshore and offshore firms – as well as sixth position in the Irish table, and 11^th in the Japanese table.

Figures released by Mergermarket reviewing merger and acquisition activity in the three quarters of the year reveal another strong showing from Ogier – despite a slowdown in European M&A in Q3 that saw the lowest quarterly value since the start of 2013.

Simon Dinning, Partner in Ogier's Corporate team, said that the firm's M&A teams were being kept busy not just across a range of asset classes, but also across offshore jurisdictions – with significant deals being done by the Guernsey, Jersey and Luxembourg teams.

"Having the depth to deal with a large number of complex transactions at any one time – including through collaboration between our international offices – sets us apart from competitors," he said.

"Our teams also include lawyers with significant recent onshore experience who are very familiar with the way that City firms operate."
