NEW YORK – Troutman Pepper Locke has once again posted strong results in LSEG’s Q2 2026 global M&A league table rankings, climbing four spots to No. 17 in U.S. Target Completed deals and rising three spots to No. 18 in U.S. Target Announced deals. The firm also earned first-time rankings in two broader U.S. involvement categories, all reflecting continued momentum compared to last quarter.
“These rankings reflect what our clients already know — our team consistently delivers across deal types and sizes. Climbing in three categories and breaking into two new ones in a single quarter speaks to the depth and range of our practice,” said David Ghegan, leader of Troutman Pepper Locke’s Corporate Practice Group.
