Vinge sees positive signs on the Nordic M&A market!
As evident from the latest statistics from mergermarket’s the Nordic market for major M&A transactions has begun to show positive signs. During the first nine months of the year Vinge has noted a clear increase in the number of transactions. With 36 transactions Vinge tops the list of the Nordic regions most called upon legal advisors.
The individual ranking of legal advisers finds four Vinge-lawyers among the top 15 most sought after with Vinge lawyers Johan Cederlund and Johan Göthberg occupying the two top positions. The significance of the increase of the Öresund region is demonstrated by the movement of Peter Linderoth of Vinge Malmoe up to the fifth place of the individual ranking.
The recovery of the Nordic M&A market is also evident from Vinge’s 17th place on the list of Europe most called upon legal advisors.
- The development of the M&A market is definitely looking brighter, even if it might be too early to speak about a trend. The fact that Vinge not only kept its leading position in the Nordic region, but also recaptured a position among the most utilised law firms in Europe can be seen as a sign of strength, both for Vinge and for the Nordic M&A-market, says Michael Wigge, managing partner at Vinge Stockholm in a statement.
Vinge is one of the Nordic regions largest law firms, with approximately 445 employees of which around 275 are lawyers. The business is fully concentrated on business law, whereas a essential part constitutes international commissions of Mergers and Acqusitions and Corporate Finance.
