McDermott's Financial Advisory Practice Ranked by Corporate Control Alert
NEW YORK (March 13, 2008) — McDermott Will & Emery is delighted to announce that the Firm has been ranked among the top five firms for 2007 investment banker representations by Corporate Control Alert. Firms are ranked by the number of deals with a transaction value of at least $100 million in which they represented an investment bank or financial institution providing M&A advice on a specific deal. McDermott's financial advisory practice advised on 19 of these deals in 2007, and many others with a transaction value that was either undisclosed or less than $100 million.
Jeff Rothschild, who leads our financial advisory practice, commented, "I am delighted at the progress we have made in building this practice into a recognized market leader in such a relatively short period of time."

We also ranked in 2007 among the top 15 M&A legal advisors (Bloomberg, Thomson Financial) and in the top 15 legal advisors to Global Buy-Outs (Bloomberg, Mergermarket).
