Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg was the highest-ranked Canadian-based firm in worldwide announced deals according to Thomson Financial’s Second Quarter 2006 Mergers & Acquisitions Review, released July 5.  Davies’ 25 deals accounted for over US$100 billion in volume. (Click here to visit the Thomson website for complete details.)

This leading position resulted from Davies’ strong showing in the US, Latin America, Europe and of course, Canadian markets.

Thomson also reported that M&A volume in the first half of 2006 continued to surge with announced worldwide M&A volume reaching US$930.4 billion.  This placed the second quarter of 2006 as the third most active quarter lagging only the first quarter 2000 and the fourth quarter 1999.

Davies, with over 235 lawyers, practices nationally and internationally from offices in Toronto, Montréal, New York and an affiliate in Paris, and is consistently at the heart of the largest and most complex commercial and financial matters on behalf of its North American and overseas clients.
