In the 2024 Italy M&A rankings released by MergerLinks, lawyers from Italian law firms have made a significant impact by securing seven out of the top ten positions. This marks a strong showing for domestic firms, while notable U.S. firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Latham & Watkins, and White & Case were positioned in the latter half of the rankings. The rankings were determined based on transactions where the law firm was the lead legal adviser. At the forefront, Filippo Troisi from Legance led seven transactions with a cumulative value of approximately €24.6 billion, closely followed by Carlo Pavesi of Gatti Pavesi Bianchi Ludovici, steering four deals totaling around €12.4 billion.
