Jones Day ranked number one globally for its prowess in mergers and acquisitions in Thomson Reuters’ M&A league tables for 2009. The firm has maintained its top ranking for 37 consecutive quarters and also ranked first in France, Russia, the UK and the US.
Jones Day outpaced its competitors in the M&A rankings for the number of deals it completed worldwide, receiving credit for 299 in 2009. The firm was also placed first for deals with US targets.
Deals completed by Jones Day’s M&A team in 2009 included Tech Mahindra’s winning bid for a controlling stake in Satyam Computer Services through a time-sensitive, highly regulated auction process initiated by the Indian government; Altimo’s US$23.8 billion transaction with Telenor to combine their respective holdings in telecom operators VimpelCom of Russia and Kyivstar of Ukraine; Abbott Labs’ US$2.8 billion acquisition of Advanced Medical Optics, which involved lawyers in eight of the firm’s global offices; and one of the defining distressed deals of the decade – the Chrysler restructuring and sale of assets to Fiat.
