Troutman Pepper's M&A Practice Earns Strong 2021 Q1 Industry League Table Rankings
NEW YORK – Troutman Pepper advised in more than 30 mergers and acquisitions in Q1 2021 with an overall deal value totaling more than $9 billion. Transactions spanned across the United States with a handful of cross-border deals, including in Canada, the U.K., and Ireland. Completed private equity-related transactions had an overall deal value totaling nearly $5 billion.
“Q1 2021 was the largest first quarter on record for overall M&A activity value — both globally and in the United States, which was a 94% increase over Q1 2020,” said Partner Matt Greenberg, who leads the firm’s Corporate Practice Group. “It was also an impressive quarter for our M&A group, which worked tirelessly for our clients to deliver exceptional value and help them achieve their business objectives.”
One of the many benefits of the 2020 merger of Troutman Sanders and Pepper Hamilton was the combination of the strong transactional practices of both firms. Troutman Pepper’s Q1 performance resulted in higher rankings in the M&A league tables. For example, the firm was highly ranked in the M&A league table rankings published by Refinitiv, a data analytics provider, Bloomberg, and The Deal, improving its position in multiple categories.
