Goldman Sachs leads GlobalData’s top 10 global M&A financial advisers league table in North America

by Andrea Zander

Goldman Sachs has dominated the latest mergers and acquisitions league table of the top 10 financial advisers in North America based on deal value in 2019, according to GlobalData, a data and analytics company. The American investment bank advised on 204 deals worth $748.4 billion.

According to GlobalData, which tracks all M&A, private equity/venture capital and asset transaction activity around the world to compile the league tables, Morgan Stanley ranked second with 133 deals worth $593.0 billion.

Ravi Tokala, financial deals analyst at GlobalData, said, “Despite a spike in North American targeted mega-deals [more than $10 billion], the region saw a 7 percent decrease in total deals value in 2019 over 2018. Almost all top 10 legal and financial advisers participated in these mega-deals, which were instrumental in deciding legal and financial adviser league table rankings in North America.”
