Alliance partner wins Financial Times and Mergermarket M&A Award

DLA Phillips Fox's alliance partner, DLA Piper, has been named Mid Market Law Firm of the Year at the inaugural Financial Times and Mergermarket M&A Awards.

DLA Piper beat off stiff competition from Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance, Eversheds and Linklaters in winning the award which caps another impressive year for DLA Piper's corporate team.

Bob Bishop, European Head of M&A at DLA Piper, collected the award and commented: "This is a great way to cap three consecutive years as the leading M&A law firm by volume of deals. I am thrilled for the whole team, who have worked tirelessly to cement DLA Piper as the go-to firm in the highly competitive mid-market. It is particularly satisfying to be recognised by independent organisations with a reputation for astute financial commentary and editorial integrity."
