The most active legal and financial advisers across the UK mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market in the first quarter of 2017 have been revealed in a new report by Experian.
The information services group has found that the UK “remained by some way Europe’s leading M&A marketplace”, despite a 25.5 per cent fall in transaction volume.
It was followed by the Nordics, Germany and France.
Deals completed across the continent were also “mainly in the small to mid-market value segments”, with companies based in the UK, Germany and Sweden “heavily targeted”.
Gateley Holdings PLC (LON:GTLY) was the highest-ranked legal adviser by volume having worked on 28 transactions during the three months.
