Cross-border deals are arguably the ultimate test for today's global law firm and this award - a new category - attracted heavyweight entries. Linklaters fought off intense competition to take the prize, thanks in no small part to its role advising Royal Bank of Scotland on its consortium acquisition of ABN Amro. Although the deal may have turned sour for the client, it was nevertheless the largest takeover in financial services history and a supreme test of Linklaters' ability to deliver multi-jurisdictional advice. The firm fielded some 400 lawyers across 24 offices to seal the transaction, which was the most prominent among a series of headline-making deals.
