Jones Day advised on $11.2bn worth of deals, while Kirkland & Ellis was the adviser for a total of nine deals.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Kirkland & Ellis led by volume and also occupied the tenth position by value. Meanwhile, Jones Day, despite advising on a relatively lesser number of deals compared to Kirkland & Ellis, managed to top the chart by value due to its involvement in high-value transactions.

“Jones Day advised on two billion-dollar deals during Q1 2023, which also included one deal valued more than $5bn. Interestingly, it was the only adviser to surpass the $10bn mark in total deal value during the quarter.”

According to GlobalData’s financial deals database, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher secured the second position in the value table, by advising on $7.5bn worth of deals, followed by Allen & Overy with $4.3bn, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom with $3.5bn, and Latham & Watkins with $3.2bn.
