The legal industry’s focus on gender diversity and inclusion continues to highlight exceptional female talent. Recently, a ranking of prominent female M&A partners across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) recognized lawyers from leading law firms, including Kirkland & Ellis, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Linklaters, and Garrigues. These rankings are calculated by the cumulative value of announced transactions, with data sourced from MergerLinks by Datasite.
