Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has topped Mergermarket's European deal rankings for 2009 - a year that saw activity levels fall back to 2003 levels. The magic circle firm headed the European rankings by value and volume after advising on 169 deals worth $274.6bn (£170bn). The tally, which included roles on five of the 10 largest European deals of 2009, saw the firm narrowly knock last year's leader - Linklaters - into second place by both value and volume. Both firms advised on the largest European deal of the year - HM Treasury's $41.9bn (£26bn) stake in Royal Bank of Scotland.
