Ranking Table

Corporate Finance: Big Ticket

Chambers' Corporate Finance rankings highlight the top law firms and lawyers advising on the most complex and market-leading investment grade financing transactions in London. This table recognises both UK-based and international firms that assist clients in areas such as corporate finance, syndicated loans and acquisition financings. The ranked firms represent a diverse range of clients, including corporate borrowers, private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, and both traditional and alternative lenders. These rankings provide a valuable resource for identifying firms that excel in sophisticated, high-value financial deals. The deal values that fall into those categories will depend on the state of the market in a given year but as a guide, deals above £500 million will usually be considered Big-Ticket.
