Lawdragon 500 Leading Dealmakers in America

We are delighted to publish the Lawdragon 500 Leading Dealmakers in America.

From IPOs to SPACs, transcontinental rail mergers to transformative technology combinations, the lawyers on this guide set the pace for lawyering in the financial world.

Their accomplishments and skills are dizzying. The reporting for this guide was based on that old journalistic trope: Follow the money. While the financial structures many of these lawyers create are sufficiently Byzantine to defy true understanding, their results are remarkable. Throughout the past (horrible) year, they have helped business find cash to stay afloat, and brokered mergers and other opportunistic combinations that preserved precious jobs and kept innovation afloat.

They specialize in M&A, Capital Markets, Finance, Tax, Corporate Governance, Private Equity, Investment Funds and Securities matters.

Geographically, the Dealmakers range from the energy titans of Texas to the venture vultures of Silicon Valley. And, of course, they are anchored by one of the signature golden practices in American law: the New York dealmaker. They comprise 267 slots in this year’s guide – and for good reason. From Kirkland to Sullivan & Cromwell, Cravath to Latham, and Simpson Thacher to Paul Weiss, these are the iconic corporate practices in America represented by lawyers whose deal sheets would make Midas blush.

We say it with each guide we publish because we mean it: inclusion in the law is more than a goal, it’s better business, it’s long overdue and it’s the right thing to do. This year’s Dealmakers are 32 percent women and 16 percent diverse. But it must be said that a visual survey of many – ok, almost all – of the powerhouse dealmaking firms yield a sea of white, male faces. You’ve earned your clout, but let’s try to do better.

So let’s get back to business, shall we?
