Linklaters has emerged as the top UK firm for Asia-Pacific M&A for the first three months of 2013, after a quarter which saw global deal volumes fall to their lowest level since 2009.
Figures from Legal Week‘s exclusive data provider Mergermarket show Linklaters jumped 27 places on last quarter to top the Asia-Pacific rankings by value among UK firms, with roles on 17 deals worth a total of $10.65bn (£7bn), a performance which saw it place a close second to King & Wood Mallesons, which acted on 21 deals worth $10.75bn.
