NEW YORK, July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Deal, a
business unit of TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: TST), today published its

highlighting the top global advisers involved in mergers and
acquisitions, bankruptcy, out-of-court restructuring, private
equity deals and life settlements.
View the Q2 2018 rankings here.
Taking the top spots for M&A are Kirkland & Ellis LLP,
Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Innisfree M&A Inc.
"The first half of 2018 saw a bevy of big deals, with 16
transactions of $10 billion or more
involving a U.S. company announced so far this year," observed
David Marcus, Senior Writer of The
Deal. "The activity has come in a range of sectors including media
and telecommunications, healthcare and energy."
Rankings include the names of lead M&A and/or corporate
partners at law firms that represented principals and investment
advisers. Only deals involving a change of control at a target
company with a market value of $100 million or more are
included, and only when a key party involved is
a U.S. company. Unless the target is a recognized
stand-alone operating business, rankings will not include asset
sales, unit sales, sales of subsidiaries, spin-offs or joint
ventures.
Kirkland & Ellis LLP also leads the rankings for bankruptcy
deals along with Evercore Partners Inc., Zolfo Cooper LLC and
Joele Frank Wilkinson Brimmer
Katcher.
"The energy sector was by far the most active sector for
companies filing for bankruptcy in the second quarter," noted
Kirk O'Neil, Associate Editor of The
Deal, concerning bankruptcy activity. "Many oil and gas exploration
and production companies resorted to filing Chapter 11 to
reorganize after unsuccessfully trying to restructure out of
court."
The Deal's Bankruptcy League Tables are comprised of advisory
assignments on business petitions with liabilities of at least
$25 million, filed in U.S. courts,
between January 1 and December 31,
2018.
