Goodwin once again topped the tables for having the most deal volume (160 transactions valued at $58.3 billion). For his part, Larry Chu, co-chair of the global M&A group, said in an email that the firm has “seen meaningful increases in activity across all valuation bands. We only expect momentum to continue to build through the rest of this year and into 2025.” “Our strategic approach to M&A and global reach across key industry verticals—technology, private equity, life sciences, real estate, and financial services—where we have deep connections and market intelligence, set us apart,” Chu added to Law.com.
