Dewey & LeBoeuf Ranks Highly in 2009 Year-End League Tables

Last year presented numerous challenges for the global business community. In 2009, the value of worldwide M&A deals decreased by 28.2 percent according to Thomson Reuters Mergers & Acquisitions Review. Despite this downturn in activity, the firm was among the top 10 in virtually every major M&A category and experienced significant increases in many of the rankings. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients for trusting us with their business needs. We look forward to continuing to work together in 2010.

This memorandum is intended only as a general discussion of these issues. It is not considered to be legal advice. We would be pleased to provide additional details or advice about specific situations.
