The Awards recognise the achievements of Europe’s top dealmakers and reward innovative advisory work on some of the region’s most transformative deals of the past year. An M&A Award from Mergermarket is true recognition of an outstanding year.

Commenting on the award, Partner and Head of Corporate and M&A, Cian McCourt, said: “We are very pleased to receive this award which recognises the quality and scale of work by our team to support our clients across a range of mandates and sectors. While the global economy has slowed, M&A volumes have remained resilient and Ireland remains an attractive investment destination so we look forward to 2023 with confidence.”

Deals led by the Arthur Cox M&A team in 2022 include: Mediahuis Ireland’s €30m acquisition of Carzone; the $3.8bn sale of CRH plc’s OldCastle BuildingEnvelope Inc. to KPS Capital Partners LP; and, Flutter Entertainment plc’s acquisition of Sisal S.p.A.

Earlier this year, Arthur Cox also topped Mergermarket’s M&A League Table by deal value, advising on 17 transactions valued at $7,700 million.
