To us, there is no higher honor than partnering with you to achieve your business goals and objectives. Despite 2021’s many challenges, McGuireWoods remained committed to providing excellent service to clients while preserving a collaborative, supportive culture. Last year, our lawyers helped clients successfully close more than 380 M&A and private equity transactions with an aggregate deal value of nearly $45 billion. More than one-third of those transactions were in the healthcare sector, which illustrates McGuireWoods’ longstanding leadership in the rapidly changing industry. The volume of deals our lawyers handled led Bloomberg, Mergermarket and Refinitiv to again rank McGuireWoods among the top five most active M&A firms in the United States and top 10 in the world. M&A Advisor and The Deal highlighted a number of those transactions as among the most recognized in the industry. In addition, corporate counsel singled out McGuireWoods as a leading law firm for M&A in a survey conducted by BTI Consulting Group, calling the firm a “powerhouse” for advising clients in private M&A transactions. While such impressive results and recognition give us reason to celebrate, none of it would be possible without you. We are humbled and inspired by your continued determination and enthusiasm at such a challenging time. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with you to advance your business goals and objectives. And we are proud to share in your successes. Thank you for the trust you place in us. McGuireWoods looks forward to working with you in 2022 and beyond.
