Allen & Gledhill leads 2013 M&A legal advisers

ALLEN & Gledhill (A&G) was Singapore's busiest legal adviser for merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in 2013 by a significant margin, according to data compiled by Mergermarket.

A&G, one of Singapore's largest law firms, worked on 30 of the 114 completed M&A deals last year that involved a Singapore bidder or vendor, according to Mergermarket.

That deal count represented a market share of about one-quarter, a sizeable lead over the next firm on the league table. Wong Partnership was in second place, with 18 deals, followed by Stamford Law with 15.
